If this spring belongs to one artist alone, it is Yayoi Kusama. With blockbuster shows opening in New York, Berlin and London, buzz around the Japanese nonagenarian has never been stronger. Yet the result of today's dedicated Kusama sale at Bonham's New York, which offered 11 previously undisplayed paintings and works on paper by the artist, was decent—not outstanding.
Dating from the 1952 to 1965, the works all came from the collection of the late Dr Teruo Hirose, a Queens-based heart surgeon who established a close relationship with Kusama after she moved to New York in the 1960s to pursue a career in art. Hirose ran out-of-hours sessions for members of the Japanese community, and Kusama would often visit him and repay his kindness with works of art. These included works on paper made in the 1950s that she carried to Manhattan in her suitcase, intending to barter with them in lieu of cash.

NEW YORK, NY
.- On May 12, Bonhams sale of Post-War & Contemporary Art in New York will offer Untitled (1980) by Keith Haring (1958-90) and Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-88), the first collaboration between the two artists to ever appear at auction, and one of the only works created by these two giants of contemporary art together (estimate: $300,000-500,000).
Untitled comes directly from the collection of Samantha McEwen, who lived on Broome Street, New York City, with Keith Haring and his partner Juan DuBose from 1980 to 1983. This work on paper is an incredibly rare, visual conversation between Basquiat and Haring, and only a small handful of works by this pair are in existence. Untitled was recently exhibited in Keith Haring | Jean-Michel Basquiat: Crossing Lines, at Melbournes National Gallery of Victoria: an unprecedented exhibition that included upwards of two hundred works by the two artists, which was developed with the support of the family of Jean-Michel Basquiat and the Keith Haring Foundation. Untitled was considered critical to the exhibition by Dr. Dieter Buchhart, art historian and curator of the exhibition.
