Overall size: 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 in. (140 x 140 mm). Bipo was a singer and a Haring assistant at the Pop Shop in New York City. This invitation to the party at Tunnel uses the same image as Haring created for Bipo's album cover of the same name released in 1987. The image was neither an editioned print nor a poster.

Tunnel was opened in December 1986 at the cost of $5 million by Eli Dayan – the founder of Bonjour Jeans – in a space which was formerly a railroad freight terminal.

Issued for the highly important exhibition entitled "Jean-Michel Basquiat" at Kestner-Gesellschaft, Hannover, November 28, 1986 to January 25, 1987. Basquiat died on August 12, 1988. His "To Repel Ghosts" series takes its title "after the Swiss diplomat Claudio Caratsch, who worked for many years in Africa, explained to Basquiat that often African art and artifacts served the everyday functions of repelling ghosts. In 1986’s acrylic on wood, resembling a boarded up window or storefront, Basquiat paints the phrase across the middle panel of wood and underneath places a “TM” (for "trademarked"). Like most hip-hop artists, Basquiat was acutely aware of branding’s value; the utilitarian function of everyday art and artifact (“to repel ghosts”) becomes an advertising slogan in a proprietary field that uses, abuses, and ultimately disabuses artists of the romance of art as above and beyond market forces. But oil works using the same slogan and from the same year show Basquiat effacing the phrase, placing black paint over the ghosts, in effect repelling (etymologically, to push back) the repelling of ghosts, as if trying to rescue the idea’s intention from profane sloganeering."

CA. 200 – 400 AD. Rare Roman Legionary sword of Spatha type.; broad parallel-sided spatha with convergent tip; rectangular-section tang at the shoulder developing to square-section at the upper end. Expertly cleaned and conserved to Museum quality. Size: 840mm; 590 grams. The Roman spatha was used in war and in gladiatorial fights. The spatha of literature appears in the Roman Empire in the 1st century AD as a weapon used by presumably Germanic auxiliaries and gradually became a standard heavy infantry weapon from the late 2nd Century onwards, relegating the gladius to use as a light infantryweapon. The spatha apparently replaced the gladius in the front ranks, giving the infantry more reach when thrusting. While the infantry version had a long point, versions carried by the cavalry had a rounded tip that prevented accidental stabbing of the cavalryman's own foot or horse.Good Condition; Size: 900mm; 35.43in;800gr; Provenance: From a London private collection, acquired on the UK art market in the 1980s. All Items sold by Pax Romana Auctions come with a professional Certificate of Authenticity .
