The rare lifetime print offered here was acquired from Tseng Kwong Chi by artists Stefano Castronovo and MeeDin, who, along with friends Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Keith Haring, were part of the flourishing East Village art scene of the 1980s. It is believed that no other print of this image has appeared at auction.
