Basquiat Tattoo
Tattoo from @notattoo_berlin from a Basquiat painting, for @christopherkieling @basquiatofficial #sketch #tattoo #tattooberlin In the spring of 2018, the same museum hosted "One Basquiat," an exhibition exclusively dedicated to the artist. Among the works displayed was Untitled (1982), which had been purchased by Japanese collector Yusaku Maezawa for $110.5 million—at the time, the highest price ever paid at auction for a work by an American artist. This record-breaking sale highlighted Basquiat’s enduring influence and the growing global appreciation of his unique, raw artistic vision. The exhibition itself provided a deeper look into his revolutionary approach to painting, bringing together a striking selection of works that captured his dynamic style and complex socio-political themes.
