The ‘Superhero’ portfolio, in an edition of 85, is curated from works created between 1982-87, themed around the influence of comics in Basquiat’s work. The artist’s renditions of super hero images and pop culture icons appear throughout the works, including a bat logo, two characters fist-fighting, and a super hero-like figure accompanied by the word “KRAK” (in classic comic book onomatopoeic style). Such images and themes are repeated throughout his œuvre.
