Allover Basquiat print Pullover Style Attached hood with adjustable drawstrings Ribbed cuffs and hem Polyester Blend Who was Jean-Michele Basquiat Known as a jack of all trades: musician, graffiti artist and poet. But he is most famous for his paintings. After his timely death in 1988 his artwork soared to the big screen. In 2010, a film about him, aptly named The Radiant Child in homage to the article that kick-started his career, was released. Musicians still reference him constantly, with ‘Picasso Baby’ by Jay-Z being a notable example. Artists use him for inspiration to this day — Banksy's Banksquiat from 2019, for instance. Basquiat has been featured in fashion and cosmetics, including collections at Supreme and Urban Outfitters and a make-up range from Urban Decay. And, perhaps the most staggering illustration of his posthumous success came in May 2017, making history when his painting, Untitled, sold for a whopping $110.5 million. This was record-breaking on multiple counts: the highest sum ever paid at an auction for an American artwork, the most expensive work by a black artist, and the first $100 million artwork to have been created after 1980.
