Description
Jean-Michel Basquiat's crowned dinosaur, adapted from his 1984 painting Pez Dispenser, steps off the canvas and into your pocket. The childlike sketch topped with a royal crown captures Basquiat's signature fusion of pop culture and art history. Crafted in hard enamel with black nickel plating, the keychain layers the dinosaur with a dangling crown charm and Basquiat's name in bold lettering.
Basquiat × Banksy is an exhibition of two major paintings, one by Jean-Michel Basquiat and the other by Banksy placed in dialogue. Learn more about this exhibit and the two artists behind it on the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden's Website.
Museum Story
The National Museum of African American History and Culture is the nation's largest and most comprehensive cultural destination devoted exclusively to exploring, documenting, and showcasing the African American story and its impact on American and world history. Established by an Act of Congress in 2003, it is the culmination of decades of efforts to establish a national museum that promotes and highlights the contributions of African Americans.
The Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden's holdings encompass one of the most important collections of postwar American and European art in the world, and has been a leading voice for groundbreaking artists since 1974.
