More than 30 years after his death, Jean-Micheal Basquiat’s works of art are still going for big bucks.
With those refined characteristics, its placement at Phillips‘ –known for its impressive works of art, jewelry, and photos– is expected to bring in no less than $10 million.
With the price tag expected to be so high, its nice to know that a portion of the proceeds will be going to the Art for Justice Fund.
“The Art for Justice Fund is a five-year initiative created by philanthropist Agnes Gund in partnership with Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors and the Ford Foundation.
Basquiat was born in Brooklyn, New York, to Puerto Rican and Haitian parents who implemented art early into his life by taking him to the art museums in Manhattan and enrolling him as a junior member of the Brooklyn Museum of Art.
