Condition
Colour: The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly warmer in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The upper edge is perforated. The sheet is backlined and hinged verso to the backing board in several places and undulates slightly. There is some light creasing in places throughout. All surface irregularities and accretions are in keeping with the artist's working process.

“In Basquiat’s paintings, boys never become men, they become skeletons and skulls. Presence is expressed as absence - whether it’s in the spectral bodies and disembodied skulls he paints or the words he crosses out. Basquiat is obsessed with deconstructing the images and language of his fragmented world. His work is the ultimate expression of a profound sense of 'not there,' a deep hole in the soul” (Phoebe Hoban, Basquiat: A Quick Killing in Art, New York 2016, n.p.).
