A 1982 drawing from the Modena period, consigned by a European estate.

Jean-Michel Basquiat's 1982 works have compounded at 11.4% annually since 2010, outpacing the broader post-war market by 430 bps. The target work — a mixed-media drawing on paper — was exhibited at the 1982 Annina Nosei show and has strong provenance.

We're acquiring off-market from a European estate at a ~12% discount to the comparable public sale (Christie's May 2025, Lot 14B: $2.28M). 24-month hold, Christie's Evening Sale exit targeted for Q2 2028.
