The most inexcusable injustice to basquiat is that no one has ever managed to grasp the metaphysical investigation he was involved in. I read one article long time ago where a German post graduate was attempting to illustrate basquiat's fascination with metaphysics but was swatted away by the supervisor for choosing wrong artist... I still haven't understood what was meant by "wrong artist ". Because no one has come close to bridging contemporary art with metaphysics than Basquiat
That's how you cook stories for your sales pitch. Found some resemblance with the paintings of old masters. Find references from his childhood, pick unrecognizable figures from the painting and find religious significance. Establish correlation with findings, books, scientific studies. That too in a single picture...how can an artist juxtapose various disciplines from science, to religion to philosophy all it self contradictory to each other.
to all you disliking the looks of it as if something would ever have to meet your personal taste to be qualified. yall must really just live in a mirror house to think so much for your own self.
Boy, that grammar was painful to have to navigate You say that but your own bias is so strong that you don't seem to have considered that it might be your taste that is awful. Don't go throwing rocks in a glass house
...Deep.....how you can get a person of maybe sound mind to purchase....and actually hang it where they can see it in their home....or anywhere they may want to make or keep friends.
Basquiat is significant. (The only) black artist with a rocket career + he died young. His works are nice .. some of them. Check out his artsy page / filtering paintings: www.artsy.net/artist/jean-michel-basquiat?medium=painting&page=1
So amusing to watch fools break down the significance of art. They haven't a clue of what Basquiat was referencing in his art. All a guessing game and most likely 99% wrong on all levels
this is a commercial, fine - but it is a poor sales pitch. Many of those "explanations" are far fetched even for an artist that would be crazy about the meaning of his paintings. Basquiat was a tagger, a punk, he didnt sign his paintings, he didnt care - i am a bit confused why you want to depict him the way you did in the video. His art does need nothing of that sort. Edit: the work sold for ca. 31 mio usd, may 2018.
i think he was interested in art, he was considerate. he composed his pictures. if he read that book I thought he was written about but the title refers to the book?
thats a lot of explanation for this shit, circles , diagrams, anatomy...i think the world is insane, this scribble can fetch 80 million dollars in the open market at sotherby's, to be honest ive seen worst than this that has fetch millions.
people dont have trouble with antiquity say a greek statue- although the value of truly amazing objects has gone down. its taste cultured by a Mad world. this work seems unhinged enough. I understand it can be hard to understand why they would need to add validation or something like proof to art which is not factual.
It is funny how arts sellers make stories from theirs minds...I'm 100%, Basquiat will a different explanation....Money is a driving force...excuse moi a driving inspiration...
Yeah don’t you love hating on artworks with good symbolism, actual meaning, and that stand against racism? I would much rather look at artworks with no meaning that stand for nothing, aren’t creative at all and are just a picture drawn from nature, no new creation, just an image of the real world out on canvas, and why would I respect an artist who fought against racism? DUDE. BASQUIAT IS A GOOD ARTIST OKAY. IF YOU STUDIED ART YOU WOULD KNOW
Captain Arf im serious, if you look closesly to his paintings you can clearly see its a thousand times more complicated compared to drawings of little kids
Ricky McFly it has very little do do with race and his style is shared with millions of toddlers, it's because it's a monument to how much of a price fixing scheme the art market it, it's a very ugly piggy bank for rich people
I read a lot of negative comments on here.
Art has no rules or boundaries. Art is whatever the fuck you wanna make it.

This was urban art. Not suburban living room embellishment.
Damn I need a publicist
please----the ghent altarpiece its compared to wake up this monologue is insane
A masterpiece
I make graphs cant wait to produce my ideals on art. I love this stuff cant wait

Does anyone know what music is used for the video?
It’s a little piece by Glenn Miller called “Telephone Sotheby’s-I’ve got to hide Eighty million from the government!”
I love this painting

The "t" is silent.
Glorifying .
How can Sothebys hire someone to talk about Basquiat who doesn't even know how to pronounce his name?
she also said Bennenne . home girl is CHE TRISTE !
Ur reading way to far into it. He’s just scribbling whatever tf comes to mind
That’s what art is🤦🏾♀️
@@lindsaym6607no it’s not
Incomparable??? I can compare many artists to Basquiat.
Yeah genius
Did she say autistic? Because I think she is correct
Three years and still nobody thinks you’re funny that’s crazy
Thats intense
Nice painting for rich people to park their money. Sotheby's tells them it is great so it must be great.
is this loss

trader x art 9 any chance you you link me some articles, websites videos or anything to understand his work more.
Класс! Только я не знаю английский.

maybe do a piece of art based on your philosophy
a piece of toast for a hungry man

+100
@birthkill
shit literally says potato
The video is tea leaf reading. The comparisons are fantasy. I don't claim to know anything about Basquiat, however, just about art critics.
that TRASH you guys below are talking about will cost you at least 200 MIL...
cute
Fŕt
gay...next artist.
I would throw that in the trash in a heartbeat
Lol i'd rather sell it on the auction, every paintings that he make worth above 30 million $
Yeah don’t you love hating on artworks with good symbolism, actual meaning, and that stand against racism? I would much rather look at artworks with no meaning that stand for nothing, aren’t creative at all and are just a picture drawn from nature, no new creation, just an image of the real world out on canvas, and why would I respect an artist who fought against racism? DUDE. BASQUIAT IS A GOOD ARTIST OKAY. IF YOU STUDIED ART YOU WOULD KNOW
This comment makes no sense and is deserving of mockery
yeah but it doesn't look good
This would probably be impressive if there was any quality to the painting. I'm all for symbolism but this looks like shit made in a haste.
true...but this shit can make 80 million at auction, now that is whats so crazy about this modern art shit.
rich people ruin art
I believe that was the point, it's part of the appeal, that he worked quickly, didn't take it too seriously and had a playful and curious approach.
Captain Arf you would be suprised how hard it is to make something like this
Captain Arf im serious, if you look closesly to his paintings you can clearly see its a thousand times more complicated compared to drawings of little kids
🤣🤣🤣
why are people hating because he’s black or because he made his own kind of art ?? or both lol
how's hate him? Basquiat was one of the most famous artist ever!
Ricky McFly it has very little do do with race and his style is shared with millions of toddlers, it's because it's a monument to how much of a price fixing scheme the art market it, it's a very ugly piggy bank for rich people
What captain arf just said.
