With a focus on Basquiat’s relationship to music, writing, performance, film and television, the show will bring together over one hundred works which will incorporate rare film, photography, music and archival material - paying tribute to the range and dynamism of Basquiat’s practice during his short life.Works which have never before been shown in the UK will be exhibited alongside many of the New Yorker's best-known images.
“Basquiat: Boom for Real” will also give visitors the rare chance to view works in context of the New York art scene during the 1980s, of which Jean-Michel Basquiat was a huge part of.
