MyTrend: Jean-Michel Basquiat

Basquiat with Warhol

One of my favorite artists is Jean-Michel Basquiat, the New York Pop Artist who died aged 27 in 1988. His work is still fresh and new, his style the victim of countless copies. After the release of the feature length documentary "Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Child" by Tamra Davis in 2010, Basquiat has enjoyed a return to pop-culture by being namedropped by rappers like Jay-Z, Nas, Kanye West and Rick Ross. His personal style of dressing made him a fashion icon and his prints are selling more than ever.
