Meaning & Analysis
The Offs First Record is an offset print by Jean-Michel Basquiat produced in 1984. On this album sleeve print, the name of the band is repeated thrice across the image, including across the central figure’s torso. A skeletal figure with lines across one leg suggesting bandages stands above a triangular mound. The figure appears to float above the triangle, evocative of a Christ-like figure. This, together with the incomplete lines emanating from the figure, suggest upward movement.
Similar to Beat Bop / Test Pressing, the image is monochromatic but more sparse in composition, reminiscent in its simplicity to the artist’s Anatomy series. Whilst The Offs faded from the limelight unlike Basquiat, the band’s members were a staple in the New York Scene where up-and-coming stars such as Madonna and Debbie Harry were making their name. Upon the reissue of the record in 2019, iconic music promoter from the era Johnny Bower remarked that “they played a seminal role in the downtown scene in the early 80s in New York. They were close friends not only of Basquiat, but also Warhol, Patti Astor and many of the musicians and artists who haunted the Lower East Side in search of the miraculous”.

My experience as a first time seller with MyArtBroker was nothing short of brilliant! I have to admit to being very apprehensive and nervous, had no idea what to expect and a head full of questions. Little did I know I had nothing to worry about. I was expertly guided through the whole process by the wonderful Celine who, as expected is knowledgable and prof...

I’m so grateful for how easy Celine at My Art Broker made selling my first piece. I’ll be honest, I was really nervous handing over something of such high value, but was reassured every step of the way. A price was agreed early on, and was stuck to.

My first experience working with My Art Broker was in selling an artwork. The artwork was collected on a Monday, a deal quickly agreed and the funds were in my account by Thursday. I found the whole experience to be completely stress free and painless. Pleasingly this is the first time I have made a sale and not incurred any fees or charges. The price agreed...
