How a OnePainting Show Lets You Get Inside the Brilliant Young Basquiat’s Head

"No sub­ject is more pow­er­ful or more sought after in the oeu­vre of Jean-Michel Basquiat," notes Christie's New York, "than the sin­gu­lar skull." Though maybe not the most repro­duced of Basquiat's heads, 1982's Unti­tled — argues the Great Art Explained video above — exem­pli­fies the themes. The painting, commonly referred to as Untitled (Skull), depicts a large, fragmented skull—a central motif in Basquiat's body of work.This piece is emblematic of his unique artistic voice, merging elements of street. In 2017, a similar Basquiat skull painting from the same year (Untitled, 1982) sold for $110.5 million at Sotheby's, setting a record for the highest price ever paid for an American artist at auction
