About this episode
In a significant moment for Talk Art podcast, we meet the Jean-Michel Basquiat Estate - run by his sisters Lisane Basquiat and Jeanine Heriveaux. We explore the extraordinary, new Los Angeles exhibition 'Jean-Michel Basquiat: KING PLEASURE © ' of over 200 never-before-seen and rarely shown paintings, drawings, multimedia presentations, ephemera, and personal artefacts that tell the story of Jean-Michel from an intimate perspective, intertwining his artistic endeavors with his personal life, influences, and the times in which he lived. THANK YOU so much to Jeanine and Lisane for this generous, heartfelt and joyful conversation. It is such an inspiring and thought provoking episode. Jean-Michel Basquiat’s contributions to the history of art and his explorations of multifaceted cultural phenomena––including music, the Black experience, pop culture, Black American sports figures, literature, and other sources––will be showcased through immersive environments providing unique insight into the late artist’s creative life and his singular voice that propelled a social and cultural narrative that continues to this day. This major exhibition is now open at The Grand LA, 100 S Grand Ave, Los Angeles, 90012, USA. Organised, curated and executive produced by the estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat, as administrated by Jean-Michel's sisters Lisane Basquiat and Jeanine Heriveaux.
