I wasnt a fan of Basquiat until I saw an exhibition of his work at the Brooklyn Museum. It was unbeleivable. You really have to see the paintings in person to appreciate all the texture and layers of his work.

It's just amazing how far an artist can go when his work looked like shit. Even he didn't take it seriously. His success is something to be looked at.
As someone very close to me always says: "I don't like artists very much, but I despise art buyers."

wrap your skull holes around this:

i don't think it looked like shit,
i think he was free with his expression.
and even if you consider him to be overrated, you can't deny how much he has influenced a lot of what we see - think of the people in our time: thinkmule, linda zachs, neasdon control centre...the list goes on.and although i'm a fan, i agree with kuz - im seduced by the myth of the man.

agree again with what Neuarmy says
And he did represent everythign that was rotten with the art-world of the 80s, which chewed him up and spat him out. And i guess alot of his success is cos Warhol leeched off of him, which Warhol's always been good at. But i still think his artwork stands up.

I love Basquiat. If only for the fact that true urban expressionism came to the forefront of the artworld thru his hands. He opened the door for alot of people.

Just because it looks like shit, doesn't mean it's not art.
In my opinion.
