About the Item
Jean-Michel Basquiat Record Art 1984:
A rare 1984 record album with offset printed cover art by Basquiat. The second of only two record covers designed by Basquiat during his lifetime. Originally from San Francsico, The Offs had moved to NY and soon started handing out at The Mudd Club & Max's Kansas City. Basquiat, a fan of the band, created what looks like a hollow skeleton defined by the artist's signature thorn crown. In his classic repetitive style, Basquiat repeats the bands name three times in the composition, finishing off with the album's title at the base.
"The Offs: First Record" original first printing, 1984 featuring original offset artwork by Jean-Michel Basquiat. Difficult to find in good condition with all original elements. This is from the original first edition, first printing/pressing produced during Basquiat's lifetime. See last 2 pics for the original double-sided insert (or mail catalog) issued solely with the very first pressing. Back cover displays credit to Basquiat for his cover art (photo 4).
Medium: Offset lithograph on vinyl record jacket, vinyl record.
Dimensions: 12 x 12 inches (30.48 x 30.48 cm).
Cover: Moderate surface & ring wear to front cover; in otherwise good overall vintage condition.
Includes the original record in very good overall vintage condition.
Original double-sided 1984 insert can be found in last two pics.
