Works by the post-punk graffiti artist, poet and painter Jean-Michel Basquiat will be shown in public for the very time at Miami Art Basel.

The never-before-exhibited works include drawings, paintings and collages, and were made in the early days of Basquiat’s career, from 1979 to 1981. The art was made at the apartment of his friend Lonny Lichtenberg in Manhattan, as Art News reports.

His artwork, that tended to explore racial injustice and identity through the lens of early African art and pop culture, will be curated at X Contemporary, a satellite fair at Miami Basel, by Al Diaz – the artist who he worked with on the infamous SAMO graffiti in 70s New York. The street art collective left their mark on the city, daubing statements from “SAMO© IS AN END TO THE 9 TO 5 ‘I WENT TO COLLEGE’ ‘NOT 2-NITE HONEY’...BLUZ...THINK…” and “SAMO© DOES NOT CAUSE CANCER IN LABORATORY ANIMALS” across the buzzy boroughs that housed club kids, pop artists and disco divas.

Basquiat worked across the creative spectrum: a neo-expressionist painter, a poet, collaborator of Andy Warhol, who also found himself on TV and films like TV Party and New York Beat with Debbie Harry, while further dabbling in music with his band Gray. All this, before his tragic death due to a heroin overdose at 28-years-old.

X Contemporary said that the pieces of art “had only been seen by a handful of individuals”, as they had been sold directly from Lichtenberg’s apartment.

It was recently announced that the first major exhibition of the deceased artist’s work would be coming to the UK, to London’s Barbican. Boom For Real will be the first UK showing, and will include over 100 works and will go on display from September 2017.

The Miami exhibit will run at the Nobu Hotel in Miami Beach from November 30 to December 4.
