Basquiat's 'Untitled' Painting Sells For $110 Million, The Most Ever Paid For An American Artwork
- Thread starter Arithmetic
- Start date
That first painting is my shyt
i'd probably just burst out laughing if anyone tried to give me their interpretation of any of thesebreh 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?!"
I understand how some stuff can make folks go
tho.As much as folks hate on stuff like Basquiat, I honestly hate the shyt going on now where there are artists who basically hire artists to do shyt for em like the artist is doing real life photoshop even if I like the final product. *cough* Jeff Koons *cough*
You coming from your culture are one of the last people on here that should be talking about "multiple wives" on here. I don't care how Americanized ya fam became. You cool as hell but fall back on this one.
And am I the only nikka on here who doesn't like or want a fully submissive woman, like da fuq?!
That shyt doesn't turn me on at all, this ain't the 50's. Y'all think y'all want a stepford wife until y'all actually get one. shyt is creepy and unattractive.
I need the woman I choose to die and create a legacy with to be my partner in every sense of the word. There is a balance to be had ya know?
I remember going to his exhibit and I was likeIt was from that day on I realized some art is pretentious and people put value to whatever they want
Do none of y'all know the point of a huge chunk of Basquiat's art?

There's no way you Negroes have missed out on the themes of anti-Blackness, government subversion, depression, colonialism, drug addiction, Communism, etc.
Dude was the voice of a group of people squeezed out by gentrifiers, capitalists, wealthy Whites
The man who made culturally influential art reclaiming Egypt as Black, anti-slavery art, anti-police art, was a c00n?He was a c00n too

i still think there are better black artists but i got to give basquait props i used to think they where being patronising with this dudes work looks so amatuerish but its the feeling it evokes i guess. as well as recently AAs giving his name god status.
do your thing, good to see art will always be profitable. 19,000 for it in 82, is a hell of a grip.

I appreciate the social commentary in the art.
But that it looks like some elementary school arts and crafts project.
It does.

Jay Z won, didn't he but a Basquiat piece years ago for like $5m? You'd have to assume it's worth near $50m now...

I took Art History and learned about Jackson Pollock. Son literally just splattered paint on a canvas. I mean it's cool but I used to do shyt like this in Art class in like 2nd grade.

Same posters in here claiming Basquiats work is on some kindergarden shyt are the same people claiming hiphop is not music
Like music art doesnt have to have technical perfection to be considered amazing
people exposing themselves in here

I dunno how Jay bothered coping this. All of the other paintings in this thread are more interesting than this shyt.
All of em like worth 20x more though
