The #museo delle Culture (MUDEC) in Milan will be opening its doors at the end of October to #jeanmichelbasquiat, one of the leading figures on the American and world art scene in the 1980s and one of the best-known artists of our time.
The exhibition forms part of a cultural pathway that juxtaposes items from the MUDEC ethnological collections and “primitive” art with the major artistic movement of our era.
Curated by Jeffrey Deitch, a friend of the artist as well as critic, curator and former director of the MOCA in Los Angeles, and by Gianni Mercurio, curator and writer, the #event is an initiative launched by the Milan City Council Cultural Department and #24orecultura, which is also the producer.
The over 100 works selected for display are mainly loaned by Yosef Mugrabi together with a number of other collectors and institutions. Characterized by the use of humble materials and by their unmistakeable graphic expression of rage, they cover Basquiat's artistic production from 1980 to 1987.
Large-sized works will rub shoulders with items jointly created by the artist and his friend Andy Warhol as well as a series of ceramic plates bearing ironic portraits of artists and other figures.
The show is organized so as to offer visitors insight into some important recurrent aspects of Basquiat's work such as his African-American roots, music and especially jazz, his yearning for fame and acknowledgement and sport as well as the human fragility that emerges in many of his self-portraits.
