Basquiat: Figures, Signs, Symbols | Pérez Art Museum Miami | Things to do in Miami
The Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) will present "Basquiat: Figures, Signs, Symbols," the largest exhibition of Jean-Michel Basquiat's work ever mounted in Florida, opening June 25, 2026. The show features ten works from the collection of billionaire Kenneth C. Griffin, including the iconic "Untitled" (1982), which sold for $110.5 million at Sotheby's and reportedly traded for $200 million in 2024. Curated by PAMM director Franklin Sirmans, the exhibition focuses on Basquiat's portraiture, use of text and coded language, and his layered visual vocabulary drawing from world history, Renaissance anatomy, hip-hop, and 1980s New York street culture.
