Provenance research for specific Basquiat works requires verified sourcing, and I want to be upfront about my limitations here rather than risk fabricating cThis is a question where I need to be upfront about my limitations rather than risk generating inaccurate provenance data — fabricated provenance is a serious harm in the art market.

**What I can say with reasonable confidence:**

Basquiat produced many works in 1982 (a peak year), and multiple pieces have similar or ambiguous titles. "Untitled (Boxer)" may refer to one of several boxing-themed works from that period. His primary dealers at the time were:

- **Annina Nosei Gallery** (New York) — held studio space below the gallery; sold many early 1982 works
- **Bruno Bischofberger** (Zurich) — European dealer with significant holdings
- **Larry Gagosian** — began acquiring works in this period

**What I genuinely don't know:**

- The specific chain of custody for a work identified precisely as *Untitled (Boxer)* 1982
- Whether it has passed through auction (Christie's, Sotheby's, Phillips all have Basquiat records)
- Current collection/institution
- Whether it has been flagged by ARCA, the Art Loss Register, or similar bodies

**Why this matters:**

The Basquiat Authentication Committee was dissolved in 2012, leaving a genuine authentication vacuum. Several fakes have entered the market since. Provenance gaps in the 1982–1988 period (his death) are not uncommon and require independent verification.

**Authoritative sources to consult:**

1. **The Estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat** — basquiat.com maintains records
2. **Auction house provenance notes** — Christie's/Sotheby's lot essays are primary sources
3. **Art Loss Register** — alr.org for theft/looting flags
4. **ARCA** (Association for Research into Crimes against Art)
5. **Smithsonian American Art Museum** archives (Basquiat holdings and documentation)

If you're researching this for the **Brain for Art KG** (dp-brain-art), the KG currently has 51 Basquiat-related events and Korean market transaction data — do you want me to check what provenance nodes exist there, or spawn dp-brain-art to query the knowledge graph for this specific work?
oute this to `dp-brain-art` to assess whether provenance-chain nodes are in scope for the next KG expansion?
