“Barbie® celebrates esteemed artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, whose prolific body of work played an essential role in elevating street art from the underground to gaining well-deserved acclaim in the upper echelons of the art world. His brilliant paintings are an infusion of graphic poetry, cultural dichotomies and compelling social statements that still inspire today. In a stunning tribute to the artist, this collectible Barbie® doll wears a head-to-toe ensemble featuring many well-known elements from works spanning Basquiat’s career. From the gleaming golden crown atop her head to the bespoke suit emblazoned with artwork, Jean-Michel Basquiat X Barbie® Doll is a curated collaboration bridging two cultural icons.” (Barbie.Mattel.com)
I want to purchase this doll just for her outfit, which is gorgeous! This doll has piqued my interest; however, at the point of writing this post, she is no longer available at Mattel.com. I am hoping that more stocks will be coming in and am keeping my fingers crossed. She is designed by Carlyle Nuera and is on a pivotal body.
