THE EXPERIENCE

In celebration of the brilliant artist Jean-Michel Basquiat and international treasure David Bowie’s birthday (who plays Andy Warhol in this film), join us for a screening of the new black-and-white remastered and restored release in 4K, supervised by artist and director Julian Schnabel.

ON SCREEN: Basquiat – Black and White Version

2024. Directed by Julian Schnabel. Runtime: 108 minutes. 

No painter electrified the 1980s art scene like Jean-Michel Basquiat, a New York street kid whose visionary blending of expressionism, pop art, and the radical new aesthetics of hip-hop and graffiti propelled him to international fame before a tragic early demise. Julian Schnabel’s stunning debut charts Basquiat’s dizzying rise and fall with an insider’s eye for authentic details of the downtown arts demimonde as well as a fellow postmodernist’s interest in the dream-like and surreal. Jeffrey Wright’s brilliant performance provides trenchant insight into the artist’s creative passions and personal demons. Cemented by David Bowie as a spot-on Andy Warhol, Basquiat’s supporting cast is a murderers’ row of Hollywood legends and art lovers (Dennis Hopper, Gary Oldman, Benicio del Toro, Parker Posey, Christopher Walken, Willem Dafoe) lending their talents to one of the high points of 90s independent cinema, an intimate elegy for a once-in-a-generation artistic phenomenon.
