What a disgusting display of money wasting this is.
All the people who could benefit from that money, and this smirking little shit wastes it on something I wouldn't hang in a dollar slice pizzeria.
Gross.
Spare me the "it's his money" nonsense. Yeah, and I have a right to say he spent an obscene amount of money which could've went to much more worthwhile things.
Bought by a Japanese billionaire, to be put on public display in a museum he is building.
Damn, wish I had thought to go over to his studio on the Bowery and spend a couple of thousand bucks back in the early 1980s, I could cash out today and buy lovely old buildings to prevent them from being torn down!
I think Basquiat is overrated.
@Gojira: That makes two of us.
@10:15am: You could be right, but something is "worth" whatever someone will pay for it, thus this painting is "worth" $110 million.
To all the commmenters:
I wish I had bought.....20/20 hindsight. Doesn't make you smarter.
It deserves to be in a museum......no it doesn't.
He spent a lot of money that could have been used for.......talk to your government about that problem first
It will hang in a public place.....hope the kids don't get scared and have nightmares.
Basquiat is overated....glad to see there is still some sanity out there.
And my personal opinion...yech.

But I would have to read the article to get that information and I'm just not into reading.
These paintings belong in the Museum of Not Art.
