Room 25: Notes Toward a Crown
In the manner of Jean-Michel Basquiat · American, 1960–1988 · Neo-Expressionism
Basquiat painted like someone taking notes on the whole world at once: anatomy, jazz, prices, crowns, words crossed out so you would read them harder. Today's world takes more notes than ever. Few of them are this alive.
