Jean Michel Basquiat: King Pleasure

This show I have been waiting forever since it was first announced. I was on the email list and waiting for the tickets to go on sale and the first time they were on sale was his birthday. Josh & my mom and I went down to the city for a few hours we walked around near the exhibition till it was our time to go in. I have always been a fan of Basquiat’s work and going to the King Pleasure show which was 200+ works that have never been seen or rarely seen work of his. Some things I never knew he used like xerox copies of his work that he collaged on into his work and the number of works on paper. The things he found on the street and used to create his own canvas. It was an amazing once-in-a-lifetime show.
