After quickly selling out its Jean-Michel Basquiat Dunny Art Figure Series that was presented back in 2018, Kidrobot has returned with a new selection of Masterpiece collectible vinyl figures that honor the late New York artist.
The art figures come in three new variations, with each featuring an adaptation of one of the artist's famous works. With these pieces, Kidrobot aims to celebrate Basquiat's iconic style, spotlighting his bold use of color and composition, graffiti-style imagery, and much more.
The Jean-Michel Basquiat Dunnys were created in partnership with the artist's estate, and can be purchased through Kidrobot's web store, where the 8" art figures retail for $150 USD a piece.
