About the Exhibition

Organized and curated by the family of Jean-Michel Basquiat – his two sisters, Lisane and Jeanine and his stepmother Nora Fitzpatrick - this exhibition of over 200 never before and rarely seen paintings, drawings, multimedia presentations, ephemera and artifacts will tell the story of Jean Michel from the intimate perspective of his family, intertwining his artistic endeavors with his personal life, influences and the times in which he lived. His contributions to the history of art and his exploration into our multifaceted culture - incorporating music, the black experience, pop culture, African American sports figures, literature, and other sources – is showcased through immersive environments providing unique insight into Jean-Michel’s creative life and his unique voice that propelled the social and cultural narrative that continues to this day.

This experiential event designed by David Adjaye Associates first opened in New York City in April of 2022 and is now opening in LA, March 2023 and possibly other cities. As part of the exhibition there will be a curated event space where community, creative, and educational programs will be held.
