Basquiat almost his entire (adult has taken)life on drugs: Weed, smoked, snorted cocaine, and, after he had vagina of a hole in the wall of the nose, Heroin is injected. At the age of 27, he died, his extravagant use was a reason for it. Keith Haring said in “Remembering Basquiat” in 1998, in the “Vogue”: “When he died, it was immediately clear to me which scenario to serve had to get to him, with explanations in the handle: too much in too short a time, a discipline, loose-lust for life. It is the nature of the media beast, to simplify the Complex, that it is disfigured beyond recognition.“ A lot of literature about his private life there was not yet, the wonderful memoir by Jennifer Clement with the title of “Widow Basquiat” except times. With “Warhol on Basquiat,” there is now a new way of looking at the life and art of this brilliant artist – through the eyes of Andy Warhol. The friendship between the two was intense, productive, and from Warhol’s point of view, not always benevolent.

Warhol writes: “Below, in order to meet Bruno bischofberger. He brought in Jean-Michel Basquiat. He is the Kid that used the name “Samo” when he was still sitting on the sidewalk in Greenwich Village, and T-Shirts painted. I gave him 10 dollars and sent him up to Serendipity to try to sell his T-Shirts. He was one of those Kids that made me crazy.” (Bruno Bischofberger is a Swiss art dealer and gallerist who has, in the meantime, among other things, an extensive collection of photos of Andy Warhol. Serendipity III, is a famous New York Restaurant, which was founded in 1954, is in some ways the movie shows up and with fancy dishes in the Guinness book of world records is.)
