Basquiat's 'Untitled' Painting Sells For $110 Million, The Most Ever Paid For An American Artwork

[intruder]

Thought they said Jean-Michel Basquiat was half Cuban Puerto-Rican and half Haitian

Anyway his shyt always looked weird to me but I'm no art connaisseur So more power to him

Edit: meant Boriqua

And before dr X comes in here on another rant when he doesn't leave the house, Basquait was doing this at a time no else was. He has some great pieces that are visually cutthroat and attacking. That's why white people love it.

He's clearly the one guy that influenced your work too, that's why I don't find your work interesting.

By the way he didn't kiss ass, he made connections, those who can will do so, those who can't, complain.

Imagine having 110 million to blow on some bullshyt like this

Where are your revered art pieces then ?

What auctioneer are you working with ?

Which galleries have you been featured in ?

What art publications are chomping at the bit for an interview ?

i'd probably just burst out laughing if anyone tried to give me their interpretation of any of these breh can't even enjoy the fruits of his labor


Pair of glasses left on US gallery floor mistaken for art



edit: in for the kanye west types "you don't see the abstractness?!"

Take that cape off this shyt trash b

The shyt they call art.

Right. Deangelo "Untitled" >>>>>> this shyt. And yeah I know.

 

[Cynic]

You can ask me all those questions till you blue, purple, and red in the face...if "I" don't like the shyt and I think it's then thats what it is to ME.

I don't have to be a person on a panel to not like what "I" see.

You're dismissed now.

So none ? is that right ?

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

I have really come to appreciate basquiat lately, especially seeing as how i was somewhat unknowingly inspired by him.

i never realized the way i would draw was so similar to him

Thought I was the only one that peeped.

But fukk it I ain't mad it

 

[Poitier]

Basquiat was that nikka. His art is like the subconscious of a Black man suffering from White supremacy unhinged.

Its a bunch of people in here who wouldn't know good taste if it smacked them upside the head. Probably the types of who think paintings need to have "deep meanings"

 

[xXOGLEGENDXx]

Funny thing is, if a child drew these in school they would recommend therapy

Want to see this in person
