Lot Essay

In the 1980s, Jean Kallina moved to Italy to pursue photography, and while there she met Keith Haring, Andy Warhol, and Jean-Michel Basquiat, with whom she developed a strong friendship. When she returned to New York City, Kallina’s studio was around the corner from that of Basquiat, and she often photographed him at work. In 1984, Basquiat made , a collage of self-contained images rendered in oilstick and acrylic, and the contemporaneous seems as if it could have been a study for the larger painting. Similar to the painting, the graphic lines of coalesce into a mandible-like geometry, then a recurrent image for Basquiat. The small drawing was a gift from the artist to Kallina.
