Massive Jean-Michel Basquiat Exhibition


Fondation Louis Vuitton is gearing up to launch a monumental exhibition of Jean-Michel Basquiat later this year. The retrospective will bring together 120 works that chronicle the legacy of the late iconic artist spanning from 1980 to 1988.

Set to be held in the Frank Gehry building, the exhibition will span four floors, with artworks displayed throughout. Speaking on the upcoming exhibition, the museum said, “setting aside everything extraneous, from biographical myths to considerations of market value, this exhibition will be an opportunity to see Basquiat clearly: as a great artist and a genius of draughtsmanship.” 



Highlights of the upcoming show include Basquiat’s Heads painting (1981-82), collaborative pieces between the artist and Andy Warhol such as their Dos Cabezas painting (1982), as well as many works that have not been on exhibit in Europe before.



The exhibition will be held at the Fondation Louis Vuitton, 8 Avenue du Mahatma Gandhi in Paris, France. The extensive collection will be open to the public from 3 October 2018 till 14 January 2019.
