I AM WHAT I AM WHAT I AM.
Jean-Michel Basquiat, who lived in New York in the 1970s and `80s, was one of the first graffiti artists to build a reputation in the international art scene. The self-taught artist was known for his enigmatic doodles, symbols and diagrams that appealed to the young urban rebels of his generation.
Strikingly often Basquiat painted the crown – as an expression of power and dominance, dignity and respect. He placed it on the head of people he admired. As a tribute to the ignored “kings“ of our society. The artist also often depicted himself in self-portraits with this symbol of power. An impressive expression of diversity and against racism.
Märklin honors one of the most important artists of the twentieth century and his message of tolerance with a new Message Wagon.

ARTIST BIO
The boxset includes a short biography of the artist. A short story about Jean-Michel Basquiat and his attitude. Jean-Michel Basquiat is one of the most important artists of the 20th century. His artworks are edgy and raw. A fine balance of control and spontaneity. Menace and wit. Urban imagery and primitivism. Inspired by nothing less than his own life. Characterized by his self-portraits and a conjunction of various media – from words, letters and numerals to pictograms, logos and symbols. An impressive expression of diversity and against racism. This way his art embodies the values and aspirations of a young, modern, international urban culture. And his attitude is more relevant than ever: showing life with its wide range of diversity.
With the Message Wagon „Jean-Michel Basquiat“ in H0 Scale, the collection of Message Wagons with important messages of significant artists can be continued. The Wagon transports the artist`s message from the past to the present in the form of a representative, fascinating art toy in the living room.
