Venice Modern Art

Thank you for visiting. While always looking for the “next find” at both private sales and shopping expeditions, VMA seeks to introduce members of the art communities in Venice Beach and beyond.
We are proud to exclusively represent a rare and unique work by Jean-Michel Basquiat. Created in 1984 for Jean-Michel's friends New York punk/ska band The OFFS, this work was the cover of the band's First Record. VMA have secured the 1000 unreleased copies of the 25th Anniversary Limited Edition colored vinyl and present them framed, each with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity. Included with each is a copy of the 1985 INTERVIEW Magazine review by Editor Glenn O'Brien of The OFFS First Record, in which he makes note of Basquiat's cover art as follows: "You will recognize this album in better record stores by the distinctive cover by Jean-Michel Basquiat." Each comes framed in white wood with plexiglass front and back, allowing the album's back cover credits noting "Cover Jean-Michel Basquiat" to be seen, as well as the certificate and number of the edition.

These are rare examples of one of only two record covers ever done by Basquiat, the other for his own musical group. The works come insured and shipped FEDEX third day air where available. International orders ship on a priority basis.

Jean-Michel Basquiat

One of America's contemporary art masters.

Jean-Michel Basquiat was an influential American artist who achieved fame in the late 1970's and early 1980's, credited with bringing graffiti to the fine art world of painting alongside Keith Haring and Kenny Scharf. Though Basquiat never finished high school, he grew up visiting the Brooklyn Museum of Art and took an interest in art from a young age.

His early work consisted of tagging in downtown New York with his friend Al Diaz under the pseudonym SAMO ©. Basquiat later went on to create numerous collaborations with Pop Art icon Andy Warhol. He is considered part of the Neo-Expressionist movement alongside Julian Schnabel and David Salle, with his politicized canvases blending African imagery and symbolism with the movement’s characteristic gestural marks and bright patches of color.

Kristina Falcomer

Born on December 22, 1960 in Brooklyn, NY, Basquiat spent his life working in New York until his death from a drug overdose on August 12, 1988, at the age of 27. The Whitney Museum of American Art held the first retrospective of his work from October 1992 to February 1993, and in 2016 his large canvas "Untitled" (1982) broke auction records with a final price of $57.3 million.
