A key figure in the Neo-expressionism movement, Basquiat began his career as a graffiti artist in New York City under the tag "SAMO." He transitioned to painting and rapidly gained recognition for his raw, vibrant works that often combined text and imagery, drawing on a range of sources including music, pop culture, and African-American history. Basquiat's art, characterized by its intense, chaotic energy and bold color usage, tackled themes such as racism, politics, and social hypocrisy. Despite his short career—he died at 27—his work had a significant impact on the art world. Today, Basquiat's paintings are among the most highly valued in the market; his piece "Untitled" (1982) sold for over $110 million at auction, reflecting his lasting influence and the high demand for his art.
