ABOUT THE ART
Jean-Michel Basquiat Be@rbrick figures are as coveted as any collectible from Medicom Toy. Now in its 8th installment, we find the iconic artist’s signature crown highlighted in all-over fashion on a 1000% version of the beloved figure.
Hydro-dipping techniques give the Be@rbrick a distinctive overall look which will be highly sought after. Having gained notoriety in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s, Basquiat works continue to steadily increase in value to this day. Because of this, expect the new Be@rbrick to sell out in a hurry.
With 9 part construction featuring swivel head, waist, and wrist and ball joints arms and legs, Medicom Toys' signature Be@rbrick figures are, physically, simple enough.
Their cultural impact though, has been anything but simple. Be@rbrick figures exist somewhere between toy and art. Produced in limited edition quantities, Be@rbricks are highly collectable, and even more highly coveted by devotees all over the world.
