黑料不打烊

The six-year friendship between Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat has fascinated the art world for decades. Basquiat/Warhol revisits this extraordinary relationship as told from Warhol鈥檚 perspective.

Warhol and Basquiat were an unlikely pair: though both iconic creative minds and aesthetic pioneers they were from very different backgrounds. Despite this they would forge one of the most important relationships in the history of contemporary art. Warhol, founding father of Pop art, and his much younger Neo-Expressionist proteg茅 Basquiat emerged from different generations, but within the span of six years, through a deeply intimate albeit turbulent friendship, the mutual respect and admiration that Basquiat and Warhol shared for one another inspired two iconic bodies of work - both of which have become emblazoned on our contemporary aesthetic consciousness.

Basquiat and Warhol have come to embody a profoundly symbiotic and mutually beneficial creative relationship. The friendship monumentalizes a fleeting moment when two of the most revolutionary artistic minds of the 20th century found a fruitful common ground.

Basquiat/Warhol draws widely from local sources, including private collectors, and galleries, and includes a total of 24 works, both unique and editioned, on canvas and paper.
