Jean-Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol: 6.99 (Skull) Plate
Produced by Ligne Blanche in Paris, this Limoges porcelain plate features a detail from Jean-Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol’s collaborative painting 6.99 (1985), one of approximately 160 works that the two artists created together between 1984 and 1985. The richly layered painting includes recognizable elements of both artists’ styles: Basquiat pictures a luminous orange head that stares forward as teal streaks curl around its face, and Warhol adds a boldly painted 6.99 price tag, alluding to the aesthetics of advertising and commenting on the ubiquity of consumerism.
