History
Executed in 1981, Untitled depicts a regal warrior surrounded by texts and graffiti imagery that marks his "transcendence from the leading figure on the underground art scene to the established world of international art stardom."[2] The year it was created, Basquiat had his first solo exhibition at Galleria d'Arte Emilio Mazzoli and Annina Nosei became his first art dealer.[3][4] Describing his aesthetic, she said his paintings "had a quality you don't find on the walls of the street, a quality of poetry and a universal message of the sign. It was a bit immature, but very beautiful."[5] Nosei provided Basquiat with studio space in the basement of her gallery, along with paint and canvases as he worked towards his first American solo show.[3] Art collector Anita Reiner, saw the painting while Basquiat was working on it and purchased it on the spot.[6] Reiner died in 2013, and the painting remained in the Reiner Family Collection until her heirs put it up for auction in 2014.[7][8] It sold for $34.8 million at Christie's Post-War and Contemporary Art Evening Sale in May 2014.[1]
