Christie's will feature Jean-Michel Basquiat's family portrait 'Baby Boom' at its May evening sale, estimated to fetch between $20 million and $30 million. Painted in 1982, the year that marked the height of Basquiat's career, this piece has historical significance and was shown during Basquiat’s renowned solo exhibition at Fun Gallery. Previously owned by notable collector Peter Brant, the artwork's title references post-World War II birth rates and possibly represents Basquiat's own family. Other prestigious works will also be auctioned, reinforcing the significance of the event.
Born in 1982, 'Baby Boom' highlights Basquiat's artistic peak, with works from this year reaching record auction prices, making it a valuable collectible.
The inclusion of 'Baby Boom' in prestigious exhibitions and its history, including ownership by Peter Brant, illustrates its significance in contemporary art.
