Art like Basquiat: original neo-expressionist & street works to collect

Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960–1988) is the most valued contemporary artist in the world — ranked #1 in the Artprice 2023 report with around $235M in annual auction turnover. His raw, text-and-symbol neo-expressionism, born on New York walls, still defines what "street energy on canvas" means. You'll almost certainly never own a Basquiat — but you can collect living artists who carry that same charged, urban language.
