Created in 1982, this work features one of Jean-Michel Basquiat's most iconic motifs: the three-pointed crown.
Unlike the striking black crowns seen in many of his large canvases, this version is drawn on a collage of handwritten notes, sketches, and fragmented sheets of paper, reflecting the raw energy of Basquiat's creative process during his most productive year.
The work captures the spontaneity and immediacy of his studio practice, where the crown symbol was a personal emblem of power, identity, and recognition.
This 1982 composition clearly shows the unique blend of gesture, text, and symbolism that defined the beginning of his career.
