Today marks the birthday of artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. In the 1996 film BASQUIAT, he was portrayed by Jeffrey Wright, with David Bowie as Andy Warhol. #nowstreaming

Amazing and poignant footage of Jean-Michel Basquiat as a child in Brooklyn that I’d never seen before. Just beautiful! Chapter 26 in my @thamesandhudson book looks more deeply at his childhood influences. He was born to a Haitian father and a Puerto Rican mother (briefly seen here) and had a deep intellectual curiosity as a child - and by the age of eleven he spoke English, Spanish and French fluently. His mother Matilde was interested in art and took him to all the museums, and by the age of six he was already creating complex drawings. At seven he was hit by a car and suffered a broken arm and internal injuries, and it was during his recovery his mother gave him a copy of “Gray’s anatomy”, the classic medical textbook which became a lifelong source of inspiration, including for the painting “Hollywood Africans” (1983), which I discuss in my book. @thamesandhudsonusa @basquiatofficial @basquiatkingpleasure @lisanebasquiat @basquiat_fans @basquiatforever @moca_london

RAW BEFORE THE CANVAS Jean-Michel Basquiat — New York, early 1981 Before the galleries. Before the auctions. He was writing on walls. Downtown New York, early 1981 — spray can, urgency, instinct. Not yet the art star. Just a name whispering through the Lower East Side: SAMO. Basquiat didn’t ask for permission. He claimed space. He signed existence. Avant les galeries. Avant les ventes record. Il écrivait sur les murs. Downtown New York, début 1981 — bombe en main, urgence vitale. Pas encore une icône. Juste un nom qui circulait dans le Lower East Side : SAMO. Basquiat ne demandait pas l’autorisation. Il prenait l’espace. Il signait sa présence. #Basquiat #NewYork1981 #SAMO #StreetArtHistory #CulturalDiary A cultural diary. Paris — London — New York.

Incredibly insightful recording of mega auctioneer and art dealer @simondepury talking about Jean-Michel Basquiat’s 1982 ‘Humidity.’ 💥💥💥 “When Tony Shafrazi found out we were selling Jean-Michel Basquiat’s Humidity, 1982, I received a call... He said that Humidity was a portrait of Warhol and Swiss art dealer Bruno Bischofberger. And when you look at the face of the central figure, there is no question that Tony Shafrazi is right, this is Andy Warhol.” De Pury goes on to say: “There is a very joyful thing about this work… when you look at Humidity you just instantly feel upbeat.” How extraordinary! #basquiat #jeanmichelbasquiat #simondepury #andywarhol #tonyshafrazi
