I don’t think about art while I work. I try to think about life. —Jean-Michel Basquiat
Gagosian Gallery is showing the first exhibition in Hong Kong of paintings by Jean-Michel Basquiat. An acclaimed exhibition at Gagosian New York earlier this year drew tens of thousands of visitors, attesting to Basquiat’s acute relevance twenty-five years after his untimely death.
