Free Comb with Pagoda, drawing on paper by Jean-Michel Basquiat offered for sale as an NFT on the OpenSea marketplace, was withdrawn from the auction due to the absence of the license and rights to the work by the seller. To confirm this is David Stark, Head of the Basquiat Archive: “The property of Jean-Michel Basquiat owns the copyright of the work of art referred to. No license or right has been transferred to the seller and the NFT was subsequently removed from the sale. “
