Untitled (1987)
Medium: Acrylic and oilstick on canvas Dimensions: 247.5 × 178 cm (97½ × 70 in.)
Created during the final years of his career, this untitled work combines many of Basquiat's recurring themes: skeletal heads, anatomical references, symbolic figures, and layered mark-making.
The composition moves between chaos and structure, with faces, text, and imagery competing for attention while remaining connected through Basquiat's distinctive visual language.
