On this episode of Unruly Figures, I'm covering Jean-Michel Basquiat. He's remembered as one of the greatest artists of the 20th century, but also for dying suddenly at just 27-years-old. He was the first artist to make the jump from street art to fine art, and he paved the way for a whole new way of looking at and appreciating fine art.
The Art New York interview I mention in the episode can be watched here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2ytkFDzdbk&ab_channel=PaulTschinkel
