Untitled 1982

$7,100

Description:

Untitled (1982) is one of Jean-Michel Basquiat’s most iconic and celebrated paintings. Created at the height of his artistic career, the work features a large, skull-like head rendered in vivid colors and chaotic lines, set against a bright blue background. It exemplifies Basquiat’s signature style—raw energy, bold strokes, and a mix of abstraction with figuration. The piece conveys intense emotion and reflects the artist’s deep engagement with themes like mortality, identity, and inner conflict.

In 2017, Untitled (1982) made headlines when it was sold for $110.5 million at Sotheby’s, making it one of the most expensive artworks ever sold at auction and the highest for a work by an American artist at the time. The painting is now owned by Japanese collector Yusaku Maezawa. Its record-breaking sale reaffirmed Basquiat’s lasting influence and solidified his place among the giants of modern art.

Artist:

Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960–1988) was a groundbreaking American artist who rose to prominence in the early 1980s with a distinctive style that blended graffiti, abstract expressionism, and social critique. Starting his career on the streets of New York under the tag SAMO, Basquiat quickly transitioned to galleries, becoming one of the youngest and most influential figures in the Neo-Expressionist movement. His paintings are instantly recognizable for their bold colors, frenetic brushwork, and raw, energetic symbolism, often incorporating words, skeletal figures, crowns, and references to African American culture and history.

Basquiat’s art delved deeply into themes of race, power, identity, and inequality, challenging the elitism of the art world and giving voice to marginalized communities. Despite his meteoric rise, Basquiat struggled with the pressures of fame and died at just 27. Today, he is considered a cultural icon and one of the most important artists of the 20th century. His works have broken auction records, and his legacy continues to influence contemporary art, music, fashion, and activism
