Basquiat’s works on paper are notable for their remarkable range of media, incorporating oilstick, crayon, acrylic, pen, pencil and watercolor with equal aggressivity and expression. Indeed, drawings existed for Basquiat as an important means of expression in their own right and no less significant an art form than painting – a constant creative activity for an artist who was continually concerned with blurring the hierarchy among mediums.
