The meteoric rise and fall of Jean-Michel Basquiat, born 1960. In the crime-ridden NYC of the 1970s, he covers the city with the graffiti tag SAMO. In 1981 he puts paint on canvas for the first time, and by 1983 he is an artist with “rock star status.” In 1985 he and Andy Warhol become close friends and painting collaborators, but they part ways and Warhol dies suddenly in 1987. Basquiat’s heroin addiction worsens, and he dies of an overdose in 1988. The artist was 25 years old at the height of his career, and today his canvases sell for more than a million dollars. With compassion and insight, Tamra Davis details the mysteries that surround this charismatic young man, an artist of enormous talent whose fortunes mirrored the rollercoaster quality of the downtown scene he seemed to embody.
Wanna thank NYC based painter David Lyle for sending us this fantastic print. David's paintings are inspired from found photographs. He "feels that to find a lost photo and paint it, allows the photo and the memory to have a second life." We've been fans of his work for some time now. ~check some
Wanna thank marijuana dispensary The Vapor Room for being a sponsor of our 10 year anniversary show opening up on Sept 10th here in San Francisco. Funny because we don't even smoke pot here at Fecal Face, but if we did, The Vapor Room would be our jam.
