Jean-Michel Basquiat often depicted black icons from sport and music in his paintings. Sugar Ray Robinson was one of the most celebrated boxers in 1940 to 1965, whose successful lifestyle influenced the artist considerably. Basquiat honours Sugar Ray Robinson in this work, who is depicted wearing the halo of a crown against a wholly black background. 

New Yorker Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-1988) began as a graffiti artist and brought street culture into galleries, becoming a mega star of the art world. His expressive art drew on his experience as a black American artist of Haitian and Puerto-Rican descent, addressing racism and political issues.
