How much is a Basquiat?
1 Answer
How much a Basquiat is depends on its rarity, history, condition and other factors. In 2024, the artist's painting Untitled (ELMAR), which he created in 1982, sold for $40.2 million at an auction in New York City. During his short career, Jean-Michel Basquiat became known for his Neo-Expressionist paintings and graffiti art. Since his death in 1988, his work has been reproduced on everything from mirrors and other household decorative objects to skateboard desks. To find out the value of a specific Basquiat piece, enlist the help of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable art dealer. Shop a range of Basquiat art and furniture on 1stDibs.
