Before Jean-Michel Basquiat became one of the most important artists of the 20th century, his works were already legendary on the streets of downtown NYC. Under the name SAMO, he immortalised himself with his poetic and poignant phrases on numerous house walls in the gallery district of Soho, inspiring artists all over the world. The collaboration between The Skateroom, the Jean-Michel Basquiat Foundation and Artestar draws on Basquiat's iconic paintings from the early 1980s to create unique art objects in the form of skateboard decks. With wall mounts and instructions included, these can be used as decorative wall objects at home. The iconic motif on the decks is an untitled work that was originally presented at Jean-Michel Basquiat's first solo exhibition in New York City and was later titled 'Skull'. The creative decorative element also features a printed signature of the artist on the top of the deck. This creates a link between contemporary global skate culture and the inspirational works of the artist.
