Story4.5 out of 5 stars 6
Madonna. Andy Warhol. Keith Haring. Fab 5 Freddie. Debbie Harry. Julian Schnabel. Jean-Michel Basquiat's transition from the subways to the chic gallery spaces of Manhattan brought the artist into the company of many of New York's established and aspiring stars. Unable to deal with the demands that his new fame brought, in 1987, at the age of 27, Basquiat, the most successful black visual artist in history, died from a heroin overdose.

I loved this story. The raw sharing of people's experiences. Of these two. Familiar and also untravelled territories within intertwine with my life, while also completely apart from it. I wish there'd been another second's pause after the end of each chapter and the beginning of the next. There wasn't time to let the words sink in.
