is anyone wanna thinks about that Jean-Michel Basquiat?

This is the longest of long shot requests.

Are there any Danish dudes who can report back on the Warhol/Basquiat exhib that's just started at the Arken Museum outside Copenhagen, I'm considering heading over to see it but I wanna know how much there is before I do.

RIP René Ricard

Nobody appears to give a shit judging by this thread but anyway - http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b098pd3q/basquiat-rage-to-riches

I'd deffo love to go to that Barbican retrospective, only ever seen the odd JMB piece in the flesh, and that was 20 years ago.

At the Serpentine?

It's a great exhibition, lot's of paintings that I didn't expect to ever see irl, and quite a lot of the bigger well known works are totally absent.

yep it was at the Serpentine, but i had to do a quick google, in my memory it was a gallery in one of the royal parks that I couldn't remember the name of.

My partner is actually thinking of blowing the last dregs of her savings account to go this.

Well, 20 years since the last one, Paris and other places in Europe have had retrospectives fairly recently, soooo...

I've never thought much of his work but I'm ready to have my mind changed.

You can see irl JMBs at The Broad in LA for free

jesus, 16 quid to see an exhibition is a lot.

This guy paid $110 million for the painting this past spring. I guess he's sending it on a world tour now.

I love Basquiat and the everyday is living in art thing that I romanticize his life to have been.

27 is such a ridiculous age to die.

I also like the album he put out with his band Gray:
