Mattel works in collaboration with Artestar, which is an agency that represents a range of high-profile artists all over the world. The latest effort between the duo is the UNO Artiste Series, which honors some of the world's most reputable series.
The classic card game takes on new designs as it is completely adorned in the iconic artwork by artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. The collectible card game features a different Basquiat painting on every UNO card throughout the deck. Every single UNO Artiste Series No. 1 deck also arrives with a protective linen finish on both the cards and the packaging. The Artiste Extra cards are double sided and boasts a larger piece of the recognizable artwork.
