In 1984, Jean-Michel Basquiat sold his painting “Untitled” for $19,000.

That same painting sold for an astonishing $110 million dollars at Sotheby’s auction of contemporary art in May 2018. That is a record price for an American artist at auction and the sixth most expensive work ever sold at auction.

Until it’s 2018 purchase, the work had not been displayed in public since it’s 1984 purchase by private art collectors. The piece has now made the rounds, being featured in exhibitions at the Brooklyn Museum, Seattle Art Museum and a Basquiat exhibition at the Brant Foundation in New York.

It’s also one of 10 pieces of artwork to surpass the $100 million mark. It beat out Andy Warhol’s previous record of $105 million at audction for “Silver Car Crash (Double Disaster).” Warhol has since taken that record back. His work, “Shot by Marilyns” sold for $195 million in May 2022.
