Jean-Michel Basquiat is a pioneering figure in contemporary art, known for his raw, expressive paintings that blend graffiti, symbolism, and social critique. Rising from the New York street art scene in the late 1970s, he developed a distinct visual language incorporating bold colors, frenetic brushstrokes, and poetic text. His works explore themes of identity, power structures, race, and mortality, often featuring crowned figures, skeletal forms, and references to history and pop culture. With an enduring influence on Neo-Expressionism and urban art, Basquiat’s paintings, drawings, and rare prints remain among the most sought-after in the global art market.
