FBI raids Orlando Museum of Art over Basquiat exhibit

• An affidavit for the search warrant called the collection's origin story into question, and raised doubt about the authenticity of the paintings, which are on scraps of cardboard.
• The 41-page affidavit posited two possible crimes — conspiracy and wire fraud — and the FBI's investigation had revealed "false information related to the alleged prior ownership of the paintings."

Flashback: The Basquiat exhibit — titled "Heroes & Monsters" — boasted 25 of the late artist's paintings said to have been "lost" for 30 years in a storage unit in California.

• Per the museum, a "picker" bought the contents of the storage unit for $15,000 at an auction.
• In 2012, the picker reportedly tracked down the unit's renter, who confirmed that he bought the Basquiat paintings in 1982 on the recommendation of a friend.

Of note: Before his death from a drug overdose in 1988, Basquiat is believed to have made approximately 2,100 pieces of art.
