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.

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:
