  • The Japanese Collector Recently Set the Auction Record for Jean-Michel Basquiat—Twice
    AiA Art News-service MARKET THE 200 TOP COLLECTORS Maezawa’s World: The Japanese Collector Recently Set the Auction Record for Jean-Michel Basquiat—Twice BY Nate Freeman POSTED 09/11/17 11:50 PM 241 150 1 407 Yusaku Maezawa photographed in his home in Tokyo, 2017. ©KOHEY KANNO It was just after 8 p.m. on May 18, 2017, when a painting by Jean-Michel Basquiat sold for more than $110 million at Sotheby’s, blasting past the pre-sale estimate of $60 million. It set a new auction record for the artist and became the sixth most expensive artwork ever to sell at auction. The initial reaction in the salesroom was a collective gasp, followed by wild applause—and then, perhaps, some quick mental tabulations in the minds of collectors with Basquiats on their walls. Next, everyone started to wonder: who bought the damn thing? All was revealed within minutes, when Japanese collector Yusaku Maezawa posted an image to his lively Instagram account of himself standing in front of the untitled black-on-blue skull from 1982. “I am happy to announce that I just won this masterpiece,” he wrote in the caption. The purchase capped Maezawa’s lightning-fast shoot to the front of the global collecting rat race, and the folk story of the sky-high total soon became a crossover sensation. Once again, the world was talking about the American artist who died of a heroin overdose on Great Jones Street in 1988, when he was only 27 years old. An illustration of Yusaku Maezawa’s infamous Instagram post by Alexandra Compain-Tissier.

Born in Brooklyn in 1960, to a Haitian father and a Puerto Rican mother, he grew up amid the post-punk scene in lower Manhattan. After leaving school at seventeen, he invented the character ‘SAMO©’, writing poetic graffiti that captured the attention of the city. He exhibited his first body of work in the influential group exhibition ‘New York/New Wave’ at P.S.1, Institute for Art and Urban Resources, Inc., in 1981. When starting out, Basquiat worked collaboratively and fluidly across media, making poetry, performance, music and Xerox art as well as paintings, drawings and objects. Upstairs, the exhibition celebrates this diversity, tracing his meteoric rise, from the postcard he plucked up the courage to sell to his hero Andy Warhol in SoHo in 1978 to one of the first collaborative paintings that they made together in 1984. By then, he was internationally acclaimed – an extraordinary feat for a young artist with no formal training, working against the racial prejudice of the time. In the studio, Basquiat surrounded himself with source material. He would sample from books spread open on the floor and the sounds of the television or boom box – anything worthy of his trademark catchphrase ‘boom for real’.
