Created in 1982, this work features one of Jean-Michel Basquiat’s most iconic motifs: the three-point crown. Unlike the bold black crowns seen in many of his major paintings, this version is drawn over a collage of handwritten notes, sketches, and fragmented paper sheets, reflecting the raw energy of Basquiat’s creative process during his most productive year. The piece captures the spontaneity and immediacy of his studio practice, where the crown symbol served as a personal emblem of power, identity, and recognition. This 1982 composition clearly shows the artist’s unique blend of gesture, text, and symbolism that defined his early career.
