Meaning & Analysis

In 50 Cent Piece, Basquiat employs his distinctive graffiti-inspired style, layering bold lines and expressive marks across the canvas. The artwork integrates a 50 cent piece into the composition, reflecting Basquiat’s commentary on commerce and cultural narratives. His use of text alongside fragmented imagery creates a complex dialogue within the piece. This screenprint is a prime example of Basquiat's ability to merge historical references with contemporary themes, drawing on influences ranging from street art to Neo-Expressionism. The artwork’s cultural resonance is further amplified by its reflection on the artist’s own experiences navigating the art world. Signed by the artist's estate, this piece remains a compelling testament to Basquiat's enduring impact on modern art.

  • Jean-Michel Basquiat's unique visual style has dominated the Urban Art scene, securing his status as one of the most successful African-American street artists of the 20th Century. Addressing themes of race, identity and culture within his expressive works, his distinctive painterly style and use of child-like iconography changed the course of art history forever. Artworks such as Undiscovered Genius place controversial subjects at the forefront of his narrative. Despite his tragically premature death at the age of 27, Basquiat's impact on the art scene is exemplified through the increase of his market value in the years since.
