Explaining the Explosion of Iconography in Basquiat’s ‘Pyro’

[@delta0921]

I heard the painting sold for $12.2 million dollars! Holy smokes! I wonder if the buyer was the same Japanese billionaire who buys his works.

[@vintagemidcentury2693]

Shame his work has to be part of Art investment merry-go-around.

[@warholscircus]

I am kind of counting on that. Had he lived, he'd have been enjoying it too! Total GENIUS!!!

[@ThePooper3000]

At least it brings more eyes to his works. There's nothing that'll get more attention than big price tags. It would be a shame if Basquiat fell into obscurity, simply because no one can profit from the hype surrounding him.

[@birobence5778]

Agreed. And how at the end, they basically took all the spirit away from it, by letting you know that their only goal with this was to sell it.

[@MrY1313]

Breathtaking. Thank you!

Weird comparison.

[@dean-lewis7]

Horrible aesthetic of the monstrous New York City, with such an enchanting history and story behind it.

[@65cquintero]

How grotesque…
