![[Translate to English:] This powerful work by Jean-Michel Basquiat delves into themes of slavery, Black identity, and human commodification. On a dark, chaotic background accented with bright orange, electric blue, and white, a haloed skull, a striped figure, and a series of cartoonish faces emerge. The raw brushstrokes, drips, scribbles, and collages create a sense of controlled chaos, echoing the violent and fragmented history of African Americans. The painting evokes urgency, tension, and resistance, blending street art energy with symbolic and socio-political critique.](/fileadmin/user_upload/basquiat_slave-auction_vignette.jpg "[Translate to English:]")
