Edition of 53
Brunson
1 Original painting on canvas: 40 x 30"
Starting bid: $27,000 (currently reserve @ $53,000)
The New York Knicks’ first NBA Championship in 53 years has ignited a magnificent celebration across the five boroughs, uniting an entire city and Knick culture globally together in shared joy. To honor this beautiful milestone, a poignant new painting of Jalen Brunson—tenderly commenced by artist William Quigley during the opening round of the 2026 playoffs—is now being offered at auction with an opening bid of $53,000. This masterful piece stands as a humble homage to Brunson’s relentless spirit, the resilient Knicks franchise, and the unwavering devotion of Knick Nation, accompanied by a rare edition of just 53 prints alongside an unlimited commemorative poster available for $53 unsigned or $153 hand-signed.
The iconic image celebrates Brunson's leadership in returning a championship to New York and reflects his "Skrapper-like" mentality of relentless effort, high performance, and an unwavering ability to deliver under pressure. The release also marks 27 years since Quigley launched Skrapper during the Knicks' memorable 1999 Finals run against San Antonio.
Quigley has painted Michael Jordan, Shaquille O'Neal, Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant, Charles Barkley, Walt Frazier, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, with many acquiring the original works. Investing in Quigley’s artwork represents a rare and lucrative opportunity for savvy collectors: his previous print editions, which originally debuted at an accessible $500, have skyrocketed to trade for as much as $10,000 on the secondary market, while his sought-after paintings routinely receive impressive six-figure valuations regardless of having few auction records.
The release is further supported by a special Skrapper collaboration with Montauk's newest destination, Montauk Project — the Montauk Project x William Quigley Jalen Brunson "Skrapper" Hoodie — extending the artwork beyond the print edition and into a limited lifestyle collection.
With only 53 prints available and demand fueled by a historic championship season, this edition is expected to sell out quickly and become one of the most collectible sports releases in Quigley's print history.
