Description

Flash in Naples is part of the Superhero portfolio, a series of estate-authorized screenprints released in 2022 and based on original works created by Jean-Michel Basquiat between 1982 and 1987 — the most celebrated period of the artist’s career.

This edition translates Basquiat’s explosive visual language into a bold screenprint format, preserving the raw energy, fragmented text, and expressive line work that define his practice. The imagery evokes themes central to Basquiat’s oeuvre: power, identity, mythology, and the construction of the Black hero figure within contemporary culture.

Issued in a limited edition of 85, this work bears the official estate stamp on the verso, signed by Lisane Basquiat and Jeanine Heriveaux, Administrators of the Estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat. The release was overseen by Pace Prints, ensuring fidelity to the original works and museum-level production standards.

Measuring 40 × 40 inches, the square format reinforces the graphic strength and commanding presence of the composition. Works from the Superhero portfolio represent a significant opportunity for collectors seeking estate-approved Basquiat editions connected to his most important creative years.
