Take a closer look at this stunning work on paper by Jean-Michel. “Untitled (Head),” 1982, is an explosion of vivid color and frenzied mark-making that stands as one of his most accomplished pieces. Here, he places himself within a storied lineage of artists who used the human head as a vehicle for psychological exploration.

As Sotheby’s notes, “Starting, arguably, with Leonardo da Vinci... and moving through Rembrandt, Gustave Courbet, Pablo Picasso, and Francis Bacon … many of these artists’ greatest works conjure a similar sense of isolation and existential anxiety as that generated by Untitled (Head).

As a black artist in an art world comprised almost entirely of white actors, Basquiat was keenly aware of his status as an outsider. Like many of art history’s great revolutionaries, such as Edvard Munch, van Gogh, and Egon Schiele, Basquiat considered himself as standing apart from many of his peers.

Brimming with defiant energy and confidence, Untitled (Head) sees Basquiat take his place alongside these canonized masters, a heroic portrayal that ranks among his greatest works.”

Artworks: Jean-Michel Basquiat, “Untitled (Indian Head),” 1981; Leonardo da Vinci, Caricature; Pablo Picasso, “Weeping Woman,” 1937; Gustave Courbet, “Self-Portrait with Pipe,” 1849.

DAVID HOCKNEY, 1937–2026

David Hockney, the Bradford-born artist whose paintings of swimming pools, Yorkshire seasons, and the people he loved defined a particular vision of the modern world, died peacefully at home on 11 June 2026. He was 88 years old — one month short of his 89th birthday. He is survived by his long-time partner Jean-Pierre Goncalves de Lima, his brothers Philip and John, his great-nephew Richard, and numerous nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews.

His publicist, Erica Bolton, issued a statement describing him as "one of the most important figures in contemporary art in both the 20th and 21st centuries." The statement ended with the phrase Hockney had made his own: Love Life.

Mr. Pinkbrush came up through graffiti and comics before refining his craft at art school in Basel. The characters he paints have weight to them. His practice, Fragmented Cubism, is rooted in the South of France, the same region where Picasso spent decades working. It is a visual language where familiar figures become something more complex.
