Untitled is a 1981 painting created by American artist Jean-Michel Basquiat in 1981. An X-ray-like vision of the head's exposed upper and lower jaw accounts for its misinterpretation as a skull. The painting was acquired by Eli and Edythe Broad in 1982, and is now housed at The Broad museum in Los Angeles. [1]

Hace 2 días · This contemporary graffitist's take on western self portraits seems to portrays Basquiat's life as a curbside peddler and homeless floater. In Untitled, 1981 (Skull), the dichotomies of inner versus outer experience are emphasised. Akin to an actual skull, the teeth and jaw are bare and skinless.
6 de abr. de 2021 · In this painting, Basquiat presents us with a face in the shape of a skull. Although complete with eyes, a nose, and teeth, the painting gives us the illusion that the face is incomplete, and the bones from underneath the surface are coming through just as plainly as the colors in the background.
Untitled (Skull) is distinguished by two hypnotic eyes that stare out manically from the surface of the work, fashioned out of generous swirls of alternating colours of oilstick that have been layered over impulsive marks and gestures the artist employed to realize his vision.
Since his death at the age of 27 in 1988, Basquiat's work has steadily increased in value. In 2017, Untitled, a 1982 painting depicting a black skull with red and yellow rivulets, sold for a record-breaking $110.5 million, becoming one of the most expensive paintings ever purchased.
