Leave Basquiat alone, he was fine. Best friends with Andy Warhol, did a lot of drugs, and didn't give a fuck.

He was the Kurt Cobain of painting. Not everyone needs to be Bach.

Listen to Pipers at the Gates of Dawn by floyd, then go listen to Sgt. Peppers. Then realize that floyd were recording in the same studio 8 months before. If you have a couple brain cells to rub together you should be able to understand The Beatles had no creative ability and just copied what was popular in the underground. They were literally the one direction of their time.

The original artist(nigger) sold the painting for $19,000 and died of a heroin overdose shortly after.

I am not sure who actually sold it this time, but I think we can make assumptions on who (((They))) are.

Yes, the Russians with dirty money pay cash through curator network with a portfolio of no talent hacks.
Artist happy because he just sold $4 worth of supplies for $20k
The curator then puts that piece of shit up for sale at auction
The clean cash goes back to Russian hackers

Cash goes into pockets of Russians with a cut for curator, and the auction winner thinks he walks away with some masterpiece of a dead nig heroin addict

Money laundering through art does happen but /pol/ grossly misrepresents it. Art and the art market typically have very little to do with one another but all people on here care about is attacking art by pointing out the shady business of the art market. It's an incredibly misguided, lazy, and weak line of attack to attempt to criticize art this way.
