Celebrating the legacy of Jean-Michel Basquiat
Jean-Michel Basquiat, Andy Warhol, Fred Braithwaite (Fab Five Freddy) at a NYC party in 1984This week marks 36 years since the world lost Jean-Michel Basquiat's electrifying genius. And yet, almost four decades later, his work remains as vibrant, relevant, and provocative as ever. A true luminary of the neo-expressionist movement, Basquiat transcended the boundaries of art with his raw and emotionally charged pieces, leaving a significant and indelible mark on the art world. From the gritty streets of New York to the hallowed halls of some of the world's most prestigious galleries, Jean-Michel's influence is undeniable, and his legacy and influence will never fade.
As we remember him this week, we celebrate his life and the indelible mark he left on the world of art and beyond.
