Basquiat

Exhibition 9 September − 30 December 2022
The Albertina Gallery presents an impressive exhibition project "Basquiat.".

This is the first extensive museum retrospective in Austria devoted to the outstanding work of Jean-Michel Basquiat. The exhibition includes about 50 major works from famous public and private collections, which provide new insights into the unique visual language of Basquiat and decipher the essence of his artistic ideas.

Basquiat's work is as relevant as ever and remains as innovative and visionary as it was then in the 1980s. His work draws attention both to his African heritage and to the problems of hierarchy in society. Initially an eccentric outsider and later an exploited superstar of his time, Basquiat is now among the most significant figures of contemporary art.

Prepared according to the materials of the website Albertina Galleries.
