The Market for Jean-Michel Basquiat:
How One Artist's Prices Have
Continued to Defy the Odds
M Masterworks Research
Published Mar 18, 2020
Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-1988) has proven to be one of the greatest forces in the art market over
the last three decades. In his lifetime, Basquiat was one of the most sought-after artists in the world,
and even prior to his tragic death at the age of 27, his prices had skyrocketed. Below we take a
specific series by the artist, comprised of larger paintings on a signature tied stretcher bar frame, to
track how Basquiat's market has performed since 1986, noting recessions or downturns in the
broader economy.
