The painting is an homage to one of Jean-Michel Basquiat's heroes, jazz saxman Charlie Parker. Rather than a conventional portrait, Basquiat portrays Parker as a chicken, or yardbird, which was one of the musician's nicknames. It's painted in a loose, neo-expressionist style the artist helped pioneer in the 1980s.

Warhol had long fascinated Basquiat, and he read about Warhol often. During the late 1970s, Basquiat sold T-shirts and postcards decorated with his own designs, becoming a well-known figure, and indeed Warhol himself actually bought one of his postcards then.

“Profit I” is one of Basquiat’s most masterful works. -Mixes the historical painting with urban graffiti to create a heroic character that is part self-portrait and part voodoo shaman.
