Whether you’re looking to sell a single painting, drawing, sculpture, print, or even an entire collection of Basquiat’s work—whether it be paintings, works on paper, or limited editions—we handle the sale with efficiency, expertise, and a focus on securing the best possible return.
The first step is determining whether your artwork has already been authenticated.
- If you have authentication papers or a certificate of authenticity, please send us copies.
- If the work has not yet been certified, we can authenticate it for you and issue all necessary documentation, including the COA.
To begin the process, we will need to examine your Basquiat. Please let us know where the artwork is located so we can provide a quote for the evaluation. We also ask that you send photographs of the piece along with its dimensions.
If you already have a price in mind, you may share it with us. If not, we will guide you in determining an accurate and advantageous valuation once the artwork has been authenticated and reviewed. Basquiat paintings remain in exceptionally high demand and can be placed in a wide variety of markets worldwide.
