This record was shattered in 2017 with Basquiat's Untitled (1982), which sold $110.5 million!
A waste of money for something that's going to burn. Read your Bible
I love how’s there a room full of rich people fighting over who’s gonna own a painting titled dust heads
and they're clueless
@TIA1988you can ask Dr. Lori V. She is very knowledgeable and smart. She can tell you the history of an art work and its price. You can find her on RUclips
$22 Mill for a painting that looks like it was doodled while high on Sherm, I'm doneeee 😭
and you're writing comments on RUclips
@@luckyy3691 Look at that painting long and hard Luckyy.
Lol. $1 million bidding increments.
Fukinnn crazzzzy ! Go Jean !!!!💯
$1m would change your life bro
These are the same people that Basquiat hated.
Wrong. He loved, LOVED money. He did everything to get fame and be noticed by rich colectors. Stop making him seem deeper that he really was. Dont get me wrong, he was a GREAT artist, but he didnt paint just to express himself. He wanted to be famous like Worhol, he wanted to be rich like Warhol.
But I bet he enjoyed selling to them
And the same people that he LOVED selling to ……
Wrong Basquiat wanted money and especially FAME!!!
It reminds me of Picasso for some reason. His art is so alive.
Amazing, and it would bring significantly more in today's market.
Rewatching these sales where no one is on their smartphones just looks so odd compared to what an auction room looks like today.
Phenomenal. Sam Havadtoy’s contemporary in New. York. A brilliant creative community of the 80ies.
I'm going to skip sleep and go paint now
Leonardo Davinci still reigns: $400 million for his painting of two men sitting at a table. Renaissance artists were masters in everything .
For a 1980s painting it's not to shabby
So why don't you give up all the comforts of postmodern life and go live in that era, idiot?
Insane
Paintings increase in value when the artist dies. Not sure if Basquiat's work would be as value if he were still alive. Maybe so, A best selling David Hockney went for just under $95m.
One day I’ll be betting on a Basquiat 🎨
Most buyers willing to pay this much money don't even appreciate artworks, they often choose them if name is fashionable. They are on display to show power and wealth until another toy becomes more interesting.
It doesn't seem they have capability to understand that his works was interpretation of inner feelings about colonialism and class struggle, yet they pay millions and millions. This is probably why Jean-Michel chose the name "Dustheads" :)
“You don’t know shit about a dead man’s perspective!”
A trick: watch series on Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching all kinds of movies during the lockdown.
@Edgar Andres Yup, have been using flixzone for since december myself =)
@Edgar Andres yea, been watching on Flixzone for since december myself :)
@Edgar Andres Yea, have been watching on Flixzone for years myself =)
Immortal technique?
아주 멋지고 환상적입니다~~
Who knows where this piece is now
Repossessed by the US government.
what makes the art monetary valuable?
This is all money laundering. Sure there’s some value when you take a look at who the painter is but there’s always a financial motive.
It's REALLY good if you are a creative type . A true modern cultural artist.
They have NO IDEA what a dust head is🤦🏿♂️🖼
They say irony is dead .
People must understand they are buy the name Basquiat if a unknown artist paints a similar painting it would be worthless
Would love to hear a professional analysis of this work.
Everyone is an art critic 😊
This same piece would be worth $200 million in 2023
Didn't Lars Ulrich of Metallica purchase an art piece for about this price?
I can restore my truck and house for only 40 or 50 thousand dollars. I wish for half a million. Someone buy 1 of my works..I can pay my house off for 160 thousand..
Dustheads being archaeologists who know what's real and what's not? The remainder of the 'pure' culture getting rid of the previous "pure" culture.
Should be titled Airheads with to much cash!🤪
I am an artist in a $50 billion industry and I am dirt poor. I love auction houses Christie’s , Sotheby’s , Phillips and Artsy for learning about art artist and antiquities.. but I can’t help feel that” The extremely Rich wealthy have ruined the art world.. Artist stand against bourgeois elite
Sad story
You are looking at life in the wrong way, life is what you make it, art shouldn’t be about making a living from it, if people can then it’s a bonus, I make pieces because I enjoy it, I don’t have money but I consider myself rich because I find ways to get good feelings without the money.
You have the wrong mindset if you just want to make money, come up with some original and compelling paintings
As I recall, artists always relied on the patronage of the very wealthy to commission them and allow them to continue in their pursuits, so how have the wealthy ruined the art world?
Oh yea the kids at the local preschool make stuff like this sometimes.
u a dumbass idiot
@@lordoftheglocks Why? I'm not the one who bought it...
My niece paints as awkward as that but her art never lands on any gallery
ok
Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up. - Picasso.
@@Bulltardwin Thank you.
I doubt she can paint like that
Whenever you read a comment like "my niece paints" you know you're dealing with an imbecile. No, your niece does not paint like this. Never fails to amaze at how willing people are to expose their stupidity for all to see. You simpleton.
Something a 9 year old could've painted.
Wrong!
Why did you note"Remember to keep comments respectful... why you're not respectful about other artist's who are talented and brilliant painters, not one but doesn't thousand who quietly do their beautiful paintings.You always advertising the some name's and showing theirs works. I'm tired watch this, all the time the some and some. Could you change this attitude and look forward, you have a millions brilliant artist's around you . Get them chance not be a famous, but leave like an artist's
Not one Black Person in the Building.
And I heard that a new MacBook Pro was expensive at $2000
Maybe in my WC... 💩💩💩
Not a black soul in there
😂😂😂😂😂😂🤦♂️
jezuz, @
This could have come from my pre school days of drawing.
But it didn’t.
That is trash
None of these people would of even spoke to even recognize Basqiat in the 80s. Now they want to own his work after they recognize how masterful he really was. Some of these peices are fakes.
no fakes are sold by the big dealers. unbeknownst to many - most of basquiats work was bought by private collectors back in the 80s. the big galleries didn't like jean's work in the 80s. most of his most famous painting were sold to regular people and are held in private collections.
Bro I don’t understand art I can literally draw that 🤦🏽♂️
No . you couldn't. Its conceptual references to American literature and jazz renaissance hes doing right off the top of the dome along with various art styles you couldn't understand
The man thought inner dimensional . If you can Ill buy your peices.
What’s your point? So what if you can draw it? You didn’t.
This painting is maybe my favorite from Basquiat. Awesome.
my favorite of basquiat is the portrait he did of him and warhol. such a beautiful piece. i wonder who owns that now.
Amazing! Basquiat is laughing his ass off right now.
There's no joy in Satan's arse-hole but he can view his ridiculous daubs forever.
@@JimOverbeckgenius wow jim
Malaysian business man,Jho Low, bought this!
this has aged nicely.
He did die of an overdose, not the first and not the last, but he was not broke, destitute or bankrupt. The price at final call was not surprising at all.
Wow SAMO maid it to the really big time what a statement for hip hop..Basquiat is to HIPhop what Warhol is to Rock & Roll.
no one is looking at the painting :(
+mrald316 Trust me the parties involved in purchasing this work have already had their teams investigate & do their "due diligence" on the piece before hand.
No worries... the piece will some day likely end up in a museum where millions of people will enjoy it. ~Peace~
There are oftentimes viewings leading up to these auctions. It's likely all the people in the audience, with any remote interest, have already spent ample time viewing it and learning of its origins, history, and provenance.
$ 10 .
Worth every cent. It's probably one of his best paintings with no text.
If you think Jean-Michel died broke, think again. He was making hundreds of thousands of dollars a week being high and painting whatever he felt like. He did whatever he wanted to do every day, all day long. I think he actually felt guilty because he used to throw hundred dollar bills out of the windows of cabs to poor people. So no, he did not die broke.
Who said that. It's always been known that he he was living it up and making a lot of money at the end of his life. Where have you seen that he died broke?
@@benvallentine7197 ^^^ other guy is speaking out of his ass. People hear addict and think broke, but you need a sizable income to split your septum via coke
and died a cheap junkie
I had depression, sad he didn't think on getting cured
Wow. Amazing that someone paid this amount. The fact that this artist died a drug addict and broke is an absolute travesty.
Everything is a choice
hope my art sells for this much
+BrxRck While being alive in this mother fff ...that what it counts to enjoy the paper u diggggg!
@@midotvadventure504 watch me do it
48 million dollars?! Whoooohhhh...
incroyable!!
My permission in writing and in person
Actual me
Jean Michel Basquiat "Dustheads" sold for $48.8 million
Any physiologist would tell you that his work shows a very troubled man.
I ask this question have we put a price on the black mans pain and is it enough.
That's sad.
i like the auctioneer's style.
The price at the end of the auction was $43.5 not $48.8..
The 'Hammer Price', US$43.5m, has a buyer's premium added to it to arrive at the final price; the premium depends on where the auction takes place and the magnitude of the price; Christie's buyer's premium, since 30 September 2013, for paintings sold in New York, for a hammer price of $2m+ is 12% (for a painting
the house collects fees from seller and buyer that's how they make their $$$$$$$$$$$$$$
jean michel basquiat father was a million air so was spike lees will Smith miles davis an puffy combs all great people's but don't feel bad about the wrong choices he made he had a great shot at life
Spare us your silly, useless bullshit. Someone wanted to own this piece of crap, and they bid upon it until they did. It's that simple.
