Odours of Punt is a monumental posthumous screenprint derived from Jean-Michel Basquiat’s 1983 imagery, a pivotal year in which the artist expanded both the scale and conceptual ambition of his work. Executed in bold passages of saturated blue, yellow, and black, the composition layers gestural abstraction with Basquiat’s signature symbolic language—cryptic text, diagrammatic figures, and alchemical references—reflecting his ongoing engagement with history, power, and myth-making. Published in 2024 by Flatiron Editions in a limited edition of 60, the work is estate-authorized and stamped by the artist’s sisters and estate administrators. With its commanding scale and strong visual impact, Odours of Punt stands among the most visually assertive examples from Basquiat’s posthumous print oeuvre, offering collectors a dramatic and museum-scale entry point into his work.
