About the artwork:
Basquiat's hand-drawn Copyright symbol
The copyright symbol "©" can be found frequently in the works of Jean-Michel Basquiat, whether it be in his notebook texts or larger compositions. This symbol serves as a means for him to assert ownership over words and ideas, as well as a commentary on consumer culture. He used the symbols as a way to challenge the traditional power dynamics in the art world, where the artist's rights are often not protected. By incorporating the symbol into his work, he was making a statement about the importance of recognizing and valuing the contributions of Black artists, who have been historically marginalized. Additionally, The copyright symbol represented a commentary on consumer culture and the commodification of art and ideas in the world.
The Jean-Michel Basquiat King Pleasure Exhibition
