Basquiat painting sells for $1. A six- foot painting of an enraged human face by onetime graffiti writer Jean- Michel Basquiat sold at Sotheby's auction house on Thursday (May 1. If our arithmetic is correct, that's more than $2. No American artist is more revered than Basquiat, who was one of the premier new expressionists in 1. New York and became an artistic protege of the late pop icon Andy Warhol before dying in 1. According to a press release by an auction tracking company called Mutual. Art, the sale topped Warhol's previous auction records.

A New York Times story titled "A Basquiat Sells for 'Mind- Blowing' $1. Million at Auction," by Robin Pogrebin and Scott Reyburn reveals that the purchaser was Yusaku Maezawa, the billionaire proprietor of a popular online fashion boutique. Maezawa set the previous record for an auction price paid for a Basquiat at $5. The question is: Is the price an outrage or an acknowledgement of the value of art? For those of us without 1.

But if Mr. Maezawa were to sell the painting for even a few million more than he paid, it would merely be another investment, right? How do you feel about it? Beneath the NOLA. A commenter called The great one wrote: "I can't paint or draw worth a c- -p.

But if you gave me 1% of that 1. I could have come up with a painting that look a billion times better than that art work."Commenter jcb.

Masterpiece? Masterpiece? I thought I was looking at something my 9- year- old painted. Some people could c- -p and some idiot would think they pooped gold and give them $$$$ for it."Pop artists Andy Warhol, left, and Jean- Michel Basquiat pose in front of their collaborative paintings on display at the Tony Shafrazi Gallery in Manhattan's So.

Here's the joke: Jackson Pollock's mother walks into an art museum, sees an abstract painting on the wall, and says "Big deal, my kid could do that."Here's the first tidbit: Picasso supposedly said that it took a lifetime to learn to paint like a child (Note: the exact quote is: "It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child"). Read "Picasso: On Painting Like a Child," on the Art Blot website. Basquiat didn't paint like a child; he painted like an expressionist. Expressionism is a style meant to release and reveal emotion, not especially capture visual reality.

If you are receptive to it, Basquiat may reach you .. Here's the other tidbit: There WAS an artist who actually defected in cans and sold it. But his intent, I believe, was to satirize the overheated 1. Note: I was wrong, it was the 1. Check it out in a story on the Mental Floss website titled "The Time an Artist Sold His Own Excrement for the Price of Gold."A commenter called Angel Food wrote "I've seen better work by Reznor," referring to the notorious New Orleans tagger, who may (this is mere speculation) see Basquiat as a role model.

I replied: Reznor aside, at this moment in art history, graffiti has much more power to energize our opinions than gallery or museum painting. Graffiti may seize the public imagination simply because it is in the eyesight of the public, or it may tap into our eagerness to romanticize outlaws.

Whatever the cause, it has much more power to provoke than legit artwork. A commenter known as old yat provided a lengthy biographical sketch (which I can't entirely vouch for) and a movie review: "Anyone that knows anything about Basquiat knows what an extremely troubled young man he was!

Fueled by psychotic episodes and large quantities of drugs, he was a mere tagger (SAMO) working the lower east side of N. Y.  In a short span of a couple of years he went from a homeless unemployed graffiti artist to an artist selling his paintings for thousands of dollars!"During that time he was hanging out with his then girlfriend, Madonna, an unknown aspiring singer also from N. Y. After a chance meeting with Andy Warhol, his work began to get noticed. Watch Shane Torent Free more.

He and Warhol began a partnership and collaborated on many works in the early 8. The price that this piece of work went for does not surprise me..

In this case the beholder was filthy rich!"Also there was a movie out a few years back starring Jeffrey Wright titled simply..'Basquiat' that was very good and gave an in depth look into the life of this artist, I recommend it highly!" I agree about the movie: I like it too, because it gives you some sense of the fragility of the artist. Do you remember the scene where he "paints" with syrup on a diner tabletop. I thought that was, if you'll forgive the pun, so sweet. And the scene where he skateboards while terribly stoned was heartbreaking, because you know in advance how it ends.
