Basquiat - Original film poster starring David Bowie. 60" x 40"

An extremely rare original poster, the 60"x 40" format was used to promote the film in outdoor media including airport concourses, shopping malls and railway stations.

‘Basquiat’ is a American biographical drama film released in 1996 and directed by Julian Schnabel and written by Lech J. Majewski and John Bowe based on the life of American postmodernist/neo expressionist artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. Basquiat, born in Brooklyn, used his graffiti roots as a foundation to create collage-style paintings on canvas.

Jeffrey Wright plays Basquiat, and David Bowie portrays Basquiat's friend and mentor Andy Warhol. Additional cast include Gary Oldman as a thinly-disguised Schnabel, Michael Wincott as the poet and art critic Rene Ricard; Dennis Hopper as Bruno Bischofberger; Parker Posey as gallery owner Mary Boone; and Claire Forlani, Courtney Love, Tatum O'Neal, and Benicio del Toro in supporting roles.
