Riddle Me This unfolds as a dense, multi-figure composition layered with text, symbols, and repeated laughter: “HA,” “HEE,” and “HO.” A central green-suited figure with a question mark stands alongside a sharply dressed character in a hat, while gestural marks, speech bubbles, and fragmented phrases scatter across the white ground. The palette is vibrant and varied, with hot pinks, acid greens, yellows, and reds activating the surface.

Released in 2016, this screenprint highlights Basquiat’s engagement with comic-book archetypes and coded language. The repeated laughter reads as both humor and critique, reinforcing the layered irony present throughout his work. Collectors appreciate editions with narrative complexity and multiple figures, as they reflect the improvisational energy of his larger paintings. Within the print market, Riddle Me This offers one of the most animated and text-driven compositions.
