During the 1980s, New York was a central hub for underground artists, hence Jean-Michel Basquiat's depiction of the empire state building in his version of 'Mecca'. Basquiat also situated his personal motif, the three point crown, directly above the word 'Empire', representing his sudden rise to fame as his artwork was propelled from the streets of downtown New York to high end art galleries around the world.
