Basquiat's works — from small works on paper to large-scale paintings — have seen extraordinary price appreciation over the past decade.

Whether you own a signed silkscreen, a work on paper, a drawing, or a large-format canvas, Guy Hepner can provide an accurate current market valuation drawing on comprehensive auction data and private sale comparables.

How Much Is My Basquiat Worth?

Basquiat values vary dramatically based on medium, size, date, subject matter and provenance. Works on paper can achieve $500,000 to $5,000,000 at auction. Paintings regularly exceed $10,000,000. The market for Basquiat has strengthened significantly since 2017 and remains active globally. We provide up-to-date valuations based on current market conditions.

Selling Basquiat: Auction vs. Private Sale

For high-value Basquiat works, the choice between auction and private sale significantly affects your net proceeds. Auction houses add buyer's premiums of 20–25%, reducing seller returns. Through Guy Hepner's private sale network, we connect your work directly with pre-qualified collectors, often achieving superior outcomes with greater speed and discretion.

Our gallery has maintained relationships with leading Basquiat collectors for over two decades. We understand the nuances of this market — authentication, provenance, condition and timing — and use this knowledge to achieve exceptional results for consignors.
