He didn't get squat, he died poor.
-
I'm talking in general, this piece sold for over 100 million but if i made something nobody would buy it for more than 20 bucks.
-
Art is subjective & there aren't many, if any, living artists who get that much. The price is more about the status of owning it, I believe.
-
True, art is really all about name recognition, the looks of it come near the bottom in terms of determining the price.
-
Alive or dead, subjective or not, the price is a joke. But as the saying goes, things are worth as much as people are willing to pay
-
It's a material world for sure.

They should investigate him as a "paid artist"

He wasn't paid before he died. Like most artists, he died poor.
-
He died poor because of a prestigious heroin habit - he was selling work for $ thousands - the starving artist tag doesn't apply to Basquiat

I'd have more respect if they bought the painting for $1million and gave $109.5m to charity!

It is so sad that these artists will never see the money their work commands.
