Samsung’s Art Store finally delivers on a huge request from Frame TV users bringing works of Basquiat into living rooms.

Technology is always a beautiful thing and if you’re an early adopter most of what people mention to you is boring and unimpressive. When it comes to in-home gadgets Samsung is always at the forefront of technology. If you’ve ever been lucky enough to own a 9-series TV you’ve probably asked how will the brand top that TV line.

The brand answered that question with “The Frame” series of televisions.

According to a press release, Samsung will now add even more value for the owner of the TV in its Samsung Art Store. Select works of Jean-Michel Basquiat will now be available on the Art store to display in the homes of consumers. This was no easy task to accomplish but somehow Samsung was able to get it done.

“The ability to bring Basquiat’s iconic artwork directly into your home with the Samsung Art Store is an exciting opportunity for global audiences to experience his work in a new and powerful way,” said David Stark, Founder and President of Artestar, the international brand licensing and consulting agency representing the Estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat. “Basquiat’s work continues to spark important conversations and encourages us to look at our worlds differently. This partnership on The Frame’s digital canvas allows his pieces to be experienced in anyone’s home, helping to share his work and honor his legacy.”

If you have access to the Samsung Art Store you’ll find works from 1982-1986. The works were specifically curated for Samsung’s Frame TV and adapted for 16×9 format. This makes it the perfect piece to display while entertaining at your house this summer.
