~Jean-Michel Basquiat~ "KingPleasure" N.Y.C.🗽

Even though there's always going to be a certain reverance surrounding Basquiat - this institutionalized name in the art world, this lone black artist of Puerto Rican × Haitian roots, don't think I've not mumbled and uttered in a lil' disdain (sometimes even disgust) through so many instances, "isn't there any other damn black or just-as-cool artist y'all know or identify with?" See, my theme in life's always been 'VARIETY'. Hence, ...is the spice of life!

But being invited to this exhibit -- one curated by his family, particularly his sisters Jeanine and Lisane, I had to fall back, like many. With over 200 never-before-seen works of his exhibited, that's not what only blew me/us away, including some of the most highly acclaimed art curators themselves in attendance. It's the family's intimate, retrospective touch that made even the most naysayer-types, loosen their tight. Shut-up those typical rotating, annoyingly arrogant critiques, real quick. Suddenly, every eye in the space (btw given a few touches by renowned British-Ghanaian architect, Sir David Adjaye) within the Starrett-Lehigh Bldg, humbled to the same level of amazement and awe. I'd go back in a heartbeat. For first-timers curating his works in an exhibit, the Basquiat family did Jean-Michel proud.

Encapsulated were his studio settings, the Basquiat family's living room and even his nightlife -- the lifestyle of 80s NYC, the downtown scene, especially where Jean-Michel partied at The Palladium. Some would remember that it was his art that graced the backdrop to their massive bar. Go. And feel it...
