The Guilt of Gold Teeth is a painting created by American artist Jean-Michel Basquiat in 1982.

[1] The Guilt of Gold Teeth was created Jean-Michel Basquiat during his second stay in Modena, Italy, as his star was rapidly ascending.

Feeling exploited, the show was cancelled because Basquiat was pressured to churn out eight canvases in one week.

[4] The painting—which measures almost 14 feet across—features Baron Samedi, chief of the Gede family of lwa in Haitian Vodou, responsible for accepting individuals into death and resurrection.

[6] Basquiat, whose father was from Haiti, also portrayed Baron Samedi in his 1987 painting Después de un Puño.
