From the streets of New York to the walls of its most prominent galleries, young graffiti artist Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-1988) was catapulted to international fame in his early 20s and was gone by age 27. The subject of a feature film by fellow artist Julian Schnabel, Basquiat is one of the most admired artists to emerge from the 1980s art boom.
Today marks the 20th anniversary of the death of Jean-Michel Basquiat
"I start a picture and I finish it. I don't think about art while I work. I try to think about life."
