This work was created during a pre-exhibition party titled Pour un déJeuner sur l’herbe, (For a lunch on the lawn) to celebrate the opening of Keith Haring at Casino Knokke, Belgium in 1987.

The Elderid mountain climbing helmet was also popular with skateboarders, hence the skating figure rendered by Haring for the helmet’s original owner, one of the party attendees.

The following two drawings come from the collection of fashion designer Glenn Williams. Williams acquired these works directly from Jean-Michel Basquiat in late 1982 or early 1983 when the artist was living in and around Los Angeles and working out of the backroom of Larry Gagosian’s first gallery.

Williams and Basquiat had met prior in New York; they hung out at the same clubs—the Mudd Club, CBGBs—had mutual friends and traveled in circles that often crossed paths. Originally from Boston, Williams moved to New York to attend the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT). It was Keith Richards, a good friend and classmate, who knew Basquiat through working at Unique Clothing, a vintage shop in SoHo, that first introduced Glenn to the artist.

Upon graduation from FIT, Williams had a job waiting with Piero Dimitri of Dimitri Couture located in SoHo. Here he was exposed to celebrities and models becoming a part of the highly visible fashion and art world and a regular at Studio 54; meanwhile, his fashion career took off.

By the early 1980s Williams was splitting his time between New York and Los Angeles. In 1982, he launched his first solo label Malibusport. His designs were highly acclaimed and garnered attention within the industry and in the press. In 1984, Williams did the clothing for Madonna’s Borderline music video.

Since then, his work has been worn by celebrities, including the Rolling Stones, Courtney Cox, and Cameron Diaz, to name a few, while his designs have appeared in numerous notable fashion magazines and nominated for and received many awards.

Williams and Basquiat reconnected on the West Coast through a friend who worked at Gagosian Gallery in West Hollywood. When Basquiat arrived in California, she invited Glenn and his girlfriend to visit the gallery and from then on they would attend parties together, dine out and hang out at JeanMichel’s studio. Brothers, Matt and Lane Dike were a central part of their social circle; the former worked as Basquiat’s assistant and spun records and the latter was an artist.

Glenn would often give clothes to Jean-Michel and the women at Gagosian Gallery and Basquiat was famously generous to his friends. It was at a party at the Dike’s loft that Jean-Michel gave Glenn these two seminal works. For more than three decades, Williams has prized these drawings remembering their friendship and a time when the world of art, music and fashion was smaller and more intertwined.

All purchases will be subject to state sales tax in Illinois or New York unless the buyer has provided us with a valid certificate of exemption from such tax.

Payment Procedure You agree to pay all Buyer Costs immediately following Wright’s acceptance of the Purchase Price Bid unless other arrangements have been approved by Wright in advance. If Wright approves of such other arrangement for payment, Wright may at its discretion require you to make a nonrefundable down payment on Buyer Costs. All payments must be made in US Dollars, in any of the following acceptable forms of payment:

• Cash

• Check, with acceptable identification

• Visa, MasterCard or American Express

Wright reserves the right to charge and collect an additional 2% of payments made by credit card.

Accordingly, prior to bidding, prospective buyers considering export of purchased lots should familiarize themselves with relevant export and import regulations of the countries concerned.

It is solely the buyer’s responsibility to comply with these laws and to obtain any necessary export, import and endangered species licenses or permits. Failure to obtain a license or permit or delay in so doing will not justify the cancellation of the sale or any delay in making full payment for the lot. As a courtesy to clients, Wright will advise clients who inquire about lots containing potentially regulated plant or animal material, but we do not accept liability for errors or for failing to advise on lots containing protected or regulated species.

Delivery Buyer is solely responsible for collection of purchased Lots from Wright facilities, including making arrangements and paying all costs associated with packing and delivery. We may, as a courtesy to the buyer, provide or arrange packing, shipping or similar logistical services, or refer the buyer to third parties who specialize in these services. Any such services referred, provided or arranged by us are at the buyer’s sole risk and expense, we assume no responsibility for any act or omission of any party in connection with any such service or reference, and we make no representations or warranties regarding such parties or their services. You expressly release Wright from any and all liability arising from your use of any third-party website or services.

Storage, Abandonment and Related Charges All purchased Lots not collected from Wright’s facilities by buyer or buyer’s authorized agents within thirty (30) days following the Sale Date will become subject to storage fees of not less than $ 5 per day. A late payment fee equal to 1.5 % per month may be assessed on any Buyer Costs remaining unpaid thirty (30) days following the Sale Date.
