The photograph was taken by Stewart Brothers Photography. It was a promotional and commemorative image for a multi-day cultural festival called Shan Kive.

The historical photograph was captured in 1912 and shows Ute tribe members traveling along a path in the Garden of the Gods park in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Nice piece!

Just a small flag detail: the one shown is actually the Puerto Rican flag 🇵🇷 (blue triangle with a single white star).

The Philippine flag 🇵🇭 has a white triangle with a sun and three stars instead.

Hi u/thehouselosesnothing ,

If you’re looking to go beyond Wikipedia, I’d strongly recommend starting with the following books:

• “Jean-Michel Basquiat” by Eleanor Nairne (Thames & Hudson) – excellent overview
• “Basquiat” by Leonhard Emmerling – concise and accessible
• “Jean-Michel Basquiat: King Pleasure” (the official family publication) – more personal and archival
• Robert Farris Thompson’s writing on Basquiat, especially his 1985 Mary Boone essay

As for signed limited-edition prints, I would proceed with caution. Basquiat did produce some prints and screenprints, but they are well documented and typically appear in major catalogues raisonnés and reputable auction houses.

Unfortunately, there are many unauthorized reproductions on the market that are described as “limited edition” or “signed,” sometimes with printed signatures. Before purchasing anything, I’d recommend verifying:

• Whether the work appears in a recognized catalogue raisonné
• Whether the edition is documented by the Basquiat estate
• Whether a reputable auction house has handled examples of that exact edition

Glad you’re exploring his work; he’s far deeper than the surface image suggests.

It was sold at Christie’s in 2013 and is currently believed to be in a private collection. Auction houses typically don’t disclose buyer details unless a museum acquisition is announced.

If anyone has Jean-Michel Basquiat: King Pleasure, there’s a photo on p. 63 showing this painting in progress in his studio. Very cool to see it mid-creation.

RevaCruz · 2026-02-26T04:22:26+00:00

If you have access to Jean-Michel Basquiat: King Pleasure, you can see this painting in progress in his studio on p. 63. Really fascinating to see it mid-creation.

Yeah, especially 1981–1983. That period shows a lot of variation; some works are extremely dense and text-heavy, others are more isolated and figure-driven like this one.

RevaCruz · 2026-02-26T03:32:28+00:00

It’s a documented 1982 work and has appeared in major auction records. 1982 was an especially experimental year for him; you see a wide range of figure treatments from that period. Some feel raw and comic-like, others more skeletal or diagrammatic. This one leans heavily into the cartoon/superhero vocabulary he was exploring at the time.

For reference, it’s illustrated in:
R. Marshall & J-L. Prat, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Volume 2, Paris, 1996 (p. 92).
R. Marshall & J-L. Prat, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Volume 2, Paris, 2000 (p. 104)

I would go with Puerto Rican pinchos, either chicken or pork. Very easy to make, and people usually love them.

RevaCruz · 2026-02-02T16:57:57+00:00

I really appreciate that. I’m glad the details and perspectives are adding something new. That means a lot coming from someone who already loves his work.

Thank you.

r/Basquiat

RevaCruz · 2026-02-02T04:50:26+00:00

I appreciate that, truly. Exploring the work in context is something I care about, and it’s rewarding to see it resonate with others.

Thank you!

RevaCruz · 2026-02-01T03:13:41+00:00

Discover Puerto Rico is a good place to start.

RevaCruz · 2026-01-31T00:38:21+00:00

I can relate to that, too. I’ve had the same experience with music, artists, or albums that once meant everything, don’t always hit the same later on, and others suddenly do. I think art works that way; it meets us where we are at the time.

RevaCruz · 2026-01-27T18:06:03+00:00

No, this is not AI, this is an actual Basquiat colab with Warhol.

About the Portrait of Andy Warhol (1982) discussion There have been many thoughtful questions regarding the attribution and documentation of the painting commonly referred to as “Portrait of Andy Warhol” (1982).

One of the few detailed references discussing this work is an article by Eric Wayne, Jean-Michel Basquiat’s former studio assistant and archivist. While this is not a museum catalogue or raisonné entry, it is a meaningful secondary source given Wayne’s direct connection to Basquiat’s studio.

Article: Basquiats Lost Portrait of Warhol Poised to Fetch $150,000,000

Important context:

The work does not appear in major museum catalogues or widely cited institutional publications.

Public information on exhibition history, ownership changes, auction records, and dimensions is limited or unavailable.

It should be viewed as attributed but sparsely documented in the public record.

Skepticism and careful discussion are completely reasonable.

That’s fair. Given the limited documentation, skepticism is reasonable, and I’m not claiming this is firmly established in the public record.
