His art focused on dichotomies such as wealth versus poverty, integration versus segregation, and inner versus outer experience. Since Bucksquiat's death at the age of 27 from a drug, his work has steadily increased in value. At a Sotheby's auction in 2017, a 1982 painting by Bucksquiat depicting a black deer skull with red and yellow rivulets, sold for $110.5 million, becoming one of the most expensive paintings ever sold by a mule deer. #respect
