BUYING A BASQUIAT
The art market is fluid and dynamic. The art holding period has shortened. No longer is it a collector’s world. Investors and speculators get in and out in a flash. Perfect conditions for risk and danger to grow and multiply. Stories come in a thousand variations as to why this Basquiat has never been seen before or why the price is so deep below market.
Strong of our 20 years in the Basquiat market, our advice is this: Make sure before you write the check, that the Basquiat you are considering buying, is the Basquiat you think it is.
After all, it was not long ago that a museum displayed 25 Basquiats for several months, none of which Basquiat had painted. They were finally taken off the walls, by the FBI. Thank you, FBI.
Considering the price of Basquiat paintings, it does pay to check.
