Jean-Michel Basquiat was the quintessential New York City artist during his life and after his death. So the arrival of the exhibition Jean-Michel Basquiat: King Pleasure© at the Grand LA in the he…
at the Grand LA in the heart of downtown Los Angeles is a welcome one for those left-coasters who couldn’t catch the display at RXR’s Starrett-Lehigh Building in New York in 2022, where it attracted 210,000 visitors over eight months.
The exhibition is particularly special for admirers of the nonconforming artist as it features a wealth of personal items. These include his birth certificate, report cards, bicycle and artifacts such as his sketchbooks and notes plus other ephemera. King Pleasure also recreates the Basquiat family home with the actual kitchenware, wallpaper and even their ancient thermostat. Amazingly, there are also childhood Super-8 videos of a young Basquiat and his sisters with their parents.
During his brief career, Basquiat was prolific, arriving on the scene as a fully formed artist with no formal training but an inherent understanding of color and composition. He was successful during his lifetime, often cited as the youngest artist in the many group exhibitions he was part of, as well as his solo ones. His work is among the most sought-after in the world.
Basquiat’s sisters took over the management of his estate since the death of their father in 2013. They had discussed putting on this exhibition as early as 2017. “We wanted to do something different,” says Jeanine, sitting in one of King Pleasure rooms at the Grand LA. “First of all, to show the work we owned that had been sitting in a warehouse. And then, to show the family’s perspective, a narrative that had never been captured. We felt it was important to show why he thought the way he did.
