500 Gallery’s Upcoming Sale Offers Oil Paintings Attributed to Jean-Michel Basquiat and Sonia Delaunay

American painter Jean-Michel Basquiat was known for his contribution to Neo-Expressionism and contemporary art movements. His artworks often highlighted themes of colonialism, racism, and classism, as well as their impact on American society. Born in 1960 at Park Slope, Brooklyn, Basquiat sold postcards featuring his artwork on the streets before becoming a successful painter. Fury Fury Fury, one such oil on canvas attributed to the artist, is a key highlight of the upcoming sale from 500 Gallery. This unsigned original composition dates back to 1982.  

Another noteworthy painting in the sale is a 1968 artwork attributed to Ukrainian-born French artist Sonia Delaunay. The artist was the co-founder of the Orphism art movement, which relies on the use of strong colors and geometric shapes. Born to Jewish parents, Delaunay spent most of her working life in Paris.

An abstract composition in the manner of Franz Kline (1910 – 1962) also leads the catalog.  American artist Kline was famous for his black and white paintings. He made a significant contribution to the avant-garde movement.
