How can I tell if a Basquiat is real?
1 Answer
To tell if a Basquiat is real, look for a signature. While you want that signature on the front and visible in other paintings in a Basquiat, having the signature on the front of the work means it’s a fake. Also, beware of the gold crown. It’s become common knowledge that a crown appears in all Basquiats, but the forgers tend to make these gold or yellow, while Basquiat didn’t hold to this color scheme. Shop a large collection of Basquiat paintings from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
