Juhanor 05/22/22 9:20:34 PM #9:	I took a train trip to NYC over the weekend to see a few exhibits of his work, one free at the Nahmad Gallery, another paid by his family's estate (King Pleasure at the Starrett-Lehigh building) Here's all the photos I took: https://mega.nz/file/W9IA1aiB#o9h4f8HQqO604PSCjhSOY2fGOBz4sJehZ11ti94T0Yk The Nahmad one was tasteful, had some cool pieces (the Bueno/Malo one was great, as was the self portrait), nicely spaced out, quiet and well lit. King Pleasure had more nice artwork and seeing some of his personal stuff was insightful. However as I understand it his father (who started the estate) had a broken relationship with him/abused him, and the sisters (who maintain it) seem money hungry. The layout of the viewing was one of those "one way only, pack in as many people as possible, poor lighting and loud music" type of deals, capped off with a gift shop selling pins, shirts, funko pops, bookmarks etc. IMO a far cry from the guy who would throw people out for asking him to make a piece that matched their couch. But anyway. If you're in or near NYC, the Nahmad one goes through June 11th I believe. Very cool artist with a very sad ending. https://i.vgy.me/GSy2xe.jpg https://i.vgy.me/2Q7vk4.jpg <cite>Juhanor posted [p:965233144] in Any Basqui...

Juhanor 05/22/22 11:58:41 PM #11:	cuh posted... ^^^very cool, thank you for sharing! This topic prompted me to look up his stuff. I may get this book, it seems like a good deal for the price https://www.taschen.com/pages/en/catalogue/art/all/43912/facts.jean_michel_basquiat_40th_ed.htm No problem! It was a fun (if tiring) experience and I wanted to share the sights with everyone. My sibling is the huge Basquiat fan and actually has a copy of that book, I've looked through and it's definitely a comprehensive look at his body of work. Highly recommended. Taschen books are so high quality too.. <cite>Juhanor posted [p:965235915] in Any Basqui... [t:80030383]...</cite> <quote>cuh posted...</cite><quote>^^^very cool, thank you for sharing!

Off the top of my head I'd say: George Perez Burne Hogarth Musashi Shotaro Ishinomori Go Nagai There's probably more out there. Tragedy and creativity go hand in hand but joy has its place, too. <cite>Juhanor posted [p:965240420] in Any Basqui...
