Opening today, One Basquiat consists of a single, exceptional painting by Jean-Michel Basquiat, a celebrated artist who was born and raised in Brooklyn. Created in 1982, the year Basquiat took New York by storm, the painting, Untitled, is emblematic of his early success and ranks among the artist’s most powerful paintings. In the single decade of his artistic career, cut short by premature death, he went from writing witty, cryptic aphorisms on the street to becoming an international art star. Untitled is on view now through March 11 thanks to the generous support of Mr. Yusaku Maezawa.Jean-Michel Basquiat (American, 1960–1988). Untitled, 1982. Acrylic, spray paint, and oilstick on canvas, 721/8 x 681/8 in. (183.2 x 173 cm). Collection of Yusaku Maezawa. © Estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat. Licensed by Artestar, New York -- source link
