He was extremely successful during his lifetime and hanged-out also with yuppies. He was producing very quickly - the paintings on the initial exhibitions were already being sold, at that time, for around 35000 dls each, and achieved internacional success during his lifetime - he was seeking for it and achieved it. Friends said that he didn’t use a bank account and loads of money were spread around the house, inside the books, money behind the pillows on The sofa... with parties happening there and lot’s of gourmet - a free Spirit, he enjoyed his success and alSo enjoyed To hang-out with the yuppies speculators of the 80’s That gave him a platform. He was already a familiar face at studio 54 parties, etc etc before Starting to produce for the gallery.

I'm in love with this guy. Didn't know anything about him but dreamt about him every night for over a week ! He's beautiful

To me it seems like NY came to life and became a painter. Messy, colorful, gritty, dirty, ugly, soulful, bright, dark, lively. If I could only meet one artist in my life it would be him.

One of my greatest experiences was accidentally meeting and having an opportunity to draw Bruce Springsteen at a Basquiat exhibit. There was this room that had a giant autograph book where fans could sign the names or draw pictures and it themselves I chose to do caricatures since I was a caricature street artist at the time. A man appeared in front of me who had an interesting face and Gotay and I started laughing and joking with him while making fun of his face and his goatee. He seemed to enjoy the exchange and happily stood in front of me while I drew him and chatted on and on. After I finished the drawing he smiled and left with his family and I kept drawing in the book. Suddenly one of the curators came up to me excitedly and said to me“Do you know what you just drew!?“ “Yeah I replied, I just drew a guy who had a funny looking goatee“ she replied “you just drew Bruce Springsteen!“As soon as she said it my mind put all the pieces together and I was shocked! I realize that I was in such a zone, caricatures wise, that I didn’t really focus on his total appearance just the parts of his face that I was drawing individually. He seem to enjoy the whole exchange probably for once in his life he was treated like a regular guy and not a celebrity!

EXCELLENT VIDEO, THANKS SO MUCH !!!!!!

An artful lesson be at the right place but stay away from the wrong time and you can enjoy your fruits .

Basquiat transcends expectations of what "art" can be, which is really quite phenomenal when considering his conceptual and artistic predecessors. It seemed as though everything had already been done but Basquiat came in like an unseen commet and shook the art world in a way no one has since. Whether you agree with the aesthetic of his work or not is rather inconsequential to the legitimacy of his significance. Conceptualization is far more important than simply making something "pretty" or "right." Art is about expanding our worlds and attempting to grasp the very concept of life... And life is not always pretty. If you don't understand where he came from, the context of his work, how that affected others, please don't embarrass humanity by posting ignorant commentary. No one cares whether you like it or not. So don't put it on your wall, bugger off, and find something more enjoyable for yourself to engage in.

When I was young and I mean prior to my teens it was Van Gough that captivated me . Once I started looking at other artists, I found Jackson Pollock and soon thereafter it was Warhol. What I mean that the visceral response was very interesting. I felt that way Basquiat's work too but it was my twenties or late teens. There were a lot artists in nyc back in the 80's and his work was in a league of its own.

Awesome interview. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for your wonderful documentary! He's totally awesome, and i Really appreciated this interview ❤🎉❤

Been to the abc no Rio many times..played shows there. It's gone now. What a lovely hole in the floor.

Wow, this one really good interview on my favorite 20th century artist

One thing I really resent and regret about myself is not getting involved in this. I am a visual artist who lived through all this and felt that I really should’ve taken part in this revolution that was taking place and sweeping New York. I definitely had the talent and style to be recognized when I didn’t have with the heart to put myself out there and as a result I’m not even Considered a “also ran” it’s a terrible feeling looking back reading about someone else and saying to yourself “ I should have, I could have!”

My favorite artist. I have a Basquiat shower curtain.

Observing. What the artist creating ☆

legend!!

EXCELENTE buen pintor,espontáneo y creativo hhh

Wondrous! He seems like Beauty Absolute to me 💔 The title of the full documentary is ' 'Jean Michel Basquiat -- The Radiant Child' .....totally fitting!

He can’t really describe his work because he’s not thinking he’s just letting it come out. That’s working from a true creative state not putting anything on something just letting it flow and be without trying.

1:28 thats some hardcore gum smacking

Really sucks that he died at only 27. Surely his death has attributed to the way his art is percieved and to the enigma that is Basquiat but it still suck that he was so young. Would've loved to just chat with him and smoke a joint, he seemed like a really cool, down to earth creative person who was just having fun with it.

One hell of a lot of skulls. I kind of get it.

It was so much easier to become a legend back then. Too much saturation now. And being enigmatic is a liability in most cases. There are so many talented artists and creatives now and everyone can put there art out for the world too see. As opposed to people being talked about snd discovered by traditional outlets. Its much harder to differentiate and standout now. Like if Jean-Michel was born in the 90s and an adult now he would probably wouldn’t be “Basquiat” Social Media has changed the game unfortunately. Its not impossible but it’s definitely different. Virgil Abloh maybe is a legend of our day and future generations in fashion and art will speak of him but he’s going to be replaced in a few years unless he manages to pull off a Lagerfeld and even then he still has to keep up commercially his true essence is hindered by the “importance” of making money. Anyone who doesn’t think so is ignorant.

Well I see your point however,it’s easier to get your work out there now...back then you had to know someone or link up with a gallery to get the exposure... So in that respect it’s easier now BUT it’s the saturation now that makes it more difficult to stand out. So so many great artists in our time that won’t get the recognition they deserve.

There was an informal interview asking students from Central Saint Martins (UAL) how they were promoting their art work - if through websites, social media(?) etc - and one student gave a very clever answer. (An art student, a bit blasé with a cool vibe) He just said - He doesn’t loose time with website or promoting online he just goes to the good galleries in London at opening nights and he reinforced “the circuit is small” :) so... it's a very smart strategy. The Art collectors, Curators, etc, want to know you personally, at the events, not online. So in some areas online promotion can be a waste of time, hiding in home instead of reaching new worlds.

he has nice eyes

So his story lives on, but his work was owned by who and who gets a profit?

People in the 80s hated to talk about their paintings

Beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder because, if I lived to be a thousand, I will never understand how he got to be compared to Michelangelo and Picasso. I used to see art like his in the stalls of my high school bathroom. At the time I never thought of contacting Sothebys. It may be possible that half of the art world is nothing but bullshit and hype.
