Ridons Death
1988
« One of Basquiat’s last works, Riding with Death from 1988, is displayed prominently in the final gallery of the Gagosian show, a placement that implies its prescient subject matter. The enormous canvas has been grounded with a dull, gray paint, a departure from the colorful backgrounds the artist typically employed. In the work’s center, a faceless figure is shown riding a skeleton, the back of its head facing the viewer. At this point in his career, the fame that Basquiat had achieved as an artist also became a double-edged sword. While it allowed for him and his family to live comfortably, it also enabled his drug addiction to become unmanageable, and eventually, fatal. »

Glenn
1984
« This skull-like head, normally empty-eyed and open-mouthed and screaming, as here, is used by Basquiat as a kind of totem or icon for the tormented individual soul. It forms the faces of many of his lone black heroes, and also serves, when adorned with a trademark crown or spiked dreadlocks, as a self-portrait. In Glenn, adorned with see-through jaw, checkerboard teeth and two-tone piano accordion-like keyboard radiating inside his skull, this mask-like head seems to both devor and spew the surrounding as if it were sound or music coursing both through him. »

Undiscovered Genius of the Mississippi Delta
1983
« Gaze upon Jean-Michel Basquiat’s “Undiscovered Genius Of The Mississippi Delta,” and your eyes are forced to dart from one ambiguous scribble to the next. The seemingly random bits of symbolism — a quasi-anatomical sketch here, the crude face of a cow there — appear smudged and chaotic before your eyes. Like a graffiti-infused response to Picasso’s “Guernica” or a Deep Southern take on “The Garden of Earthly Delights,” the masterpiece forces you to digest 15-feet worth of text and color, piecing together the five canvases worth of select African American history. » source: Katherine Brooks for Huffpost

Hollywood Africans
1983
« Hollywood Africans is one of a series of Jean-Michel Basquiat’s paintings that feature images and texts relating to stereotypes of African Americans in the entertainment industry. It was painted while Basquiat was on an extended visit to Los Angeles, California, in 1983. Several of the work’s notations are autobiographical: the trio of figures on the right depicts the artist with the rap musician Rammellzee and the painter Toxic, who had traveled with him from New York, and he includes the digits of his birth date: 12, 22, and 60. Other notations are historical: phrases such as “Sugar Cane,” “Tobacco,” “Gangsterism,” and “What is Bwana?” allude to the limited roles available to black actors in old Hollywood movies. The notion of exclusion or excision is reiterated in the way that Basquiat often crossed out words or phrases in his works. »

Untitled (Boxer)
1982
« Jean-Michel Basquiat's paintings of boxers are among his most personally and politically charged subjects. In the figure of the black boxer, Basquiat found an alluring icon of self-made power, a hero for the modern era, an athletic champion who manages to triumph in a world where the odds were firmly stacked against him in the form of deep-seated racial prejudices. This was a heroic figure that Basquiat deeply identified with, as a young man possessed of powerful artistic talent, of Haitian and Puerto Rican heritage, going up against the predominantly white world of the art establishment. »

Bird on Money
1981
"The painting is an homage to one of Jean-Michel Basquiat's heroes, jazz saxman Charlie Parker ... yardbird ... was one of the musician's nicknames...Basquiat was nothing if not sophisticated. He toyed with primitivist tropes rhythmically the way jazz musicians play with standards. He made that connection himself; the names of famous jazz players turn up in many of his works."
