It is the first work by Basquiat to enter the institution\u2019s holdings, and it is set to go on view in Dallas on July 4. Dallas-based collectors Samuel and Helga Feldman gave the painting to the museum as a gift.<\/p>\n<p>Anna Katherine Brodbeck, senior curator of contemporary art at the Dallas Museum, said in a statement, \u201cThis painting fills a significant gap in our collection and allows us the opportunity to share with audiences the groundbreaking contributions of Black and Latinx artists to the art world in the 1980s.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Basquiat painted the work while he was staying in the Texas city at the Feldmans\u2019 home. A door from their residence ended up acting as a canvas for\u00a0<em>Sam F<\/em>. The painting represents Samuel and contains text written in verse, Basquiat\u2019s SAMO tag, and what appears to be a duck.<\/p>\n<p>Agust\u00edn Arteaga, the Dallas Museum\u2019s director, said in a statement, \u201cAs a treasured object, its history is a testament to the deep generosity and support of\u00a0<span class=\"markljpsollky\" data-markjs=\"true\" data-ogac=\"\" data-ogab=\"\" data-ogsc=\"\" data-ogsb=\"\">Dallas<\/span>\u00a0patrons for contemporary artists and the city\u2019s arts institutions. As it is a beautiful new acquisition, we are thrilled to share it with our community almost as quickly as we received it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Though Basquiat created hundreds of paintings, the majority of them are held privately.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.atelierauction.com\/globalupdates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reporting on the subject<\/a>\u00a0for\u00a0<em>ARTnews<\/em>\u00a0in 2015, critic Bob Nickas found that many major U.S. museum still don\u2019t own Basquiats because they \u201cmissed\u201d the market for them during the \u201980s, when the artist was still alive (he died in 1988, at age 27.) Then, his works were far cheaper than they are now. Nickas also wrote that the \u201cunpleasant specters\u201d of racism referred to in Basquiat\u2019s paintings may have deterred many institutions from collecting his work.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the Whitney Museum in New York and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles are rare examples of important U.S. institutions that own Basquiat paintings. Despite Basquiat\u2019s stature within art history, many major museums, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and dozens more, do not own his paintings.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AtelierAuctionsg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">According to its website<\/a>, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York also acquired its first Basquiat painting this year. Titled\u00a0<em>Jughead<\/em>\u00a0(1987), the six-and-a-half-foot-long painting featuring a white man holding a dollar bill was gifted to the museum by Mireille and James Levy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Source\uff1ahttps:\/\/www.artnews.com\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Few museums in the U.S. own paintings by\u00a0Jean-Michel Basquiat, one of the most famous artists of the 1980s.
