The exhibit will explore Basquiat’s groundbreaking and provocative artistic approach. Famous by the age of 20, Basquiat confronted issues of racism, class struggle, social hypocrisy and black history. Inspired as much by high art — Abstract Expressionism and Conceptualism — as by hip hop, jazz, sports, comics and graffiti, Basquiat used recurring motifs to explore issues that he continuously grappled with in his life and art.
