Description
Straight from Jean-Michel Basquiat's 1984 painting Pez Dispenser, this crowned dinosaur is both playful and pointed—a childlike sketch wearing a crown of authority. Like much of Basquiat's work, it blurs the line between street style and fine art, layering pop culture with powerful symbolism. This enamel pin, outlined in black nickel, is for collectors, art lovers, and anyone who appreciates Basquiat's irreverent outlook on the world.
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.
