He started creating sculptures and mixed media works in 1979. In 1980, he abandoned his graffiti tag SAMO and focused on his career as a painter. The first painting he sold, Cadillac Moon (1981), was purchased by singer Debbie Harry for $200 in 1981. The top three Basquiat paintings at auction all date to 1982, which is considered his most valuable year. At a Sotheby's auction in 2017, Untitled (1982), sold for $110.5 million, becoming one of the most expensive paintings ever purchased and setting a new record high for an American artist at auction. From 1984 to 1985, Basquiat and American pop artist Andy Warhol merged their contrasting painting methods to create a series of collaborative artworks.
