Warhol, 54, met Basquiat, 22, for lunch in October 1982 and took a polaroid of them together. Basquiat took it to his studio and returned just two hours later with a portrait. Warhol was stunned by its brilliance. The brief, intense collaboration lasted from 1983 to 1985 and produced some 160 works.
A visitor looks at black and white photographs made in 1985 by US Michael Halsband, depicting portraits of US Neo-expressionism artist Jean-Michel Basquiat and US artist, film director and producer Andy Warhol , during a preview of the exhibition"Basquiat X Warhol. Painting Four Hands" at the Louis Vuitton Foundation in Paris on March 29, 2023. The exhibition"Basquiat X Warhol. Painting Four Hands" take place from April 5m 2023 to July 28, 2023.
Basquiat took it to his studio and returned just two hours later with a portrait. Warhol was stunned by its brilliance. In room after room, two different aesthetics, generations and temperaments collide -- and find an unexpected synergy. At their best, it is hard to tell where one artist begins and the other ends, as in the monumental, 10-metre-long "African Masks".
But there were doubters as well. Many felt portraits should be the singular vision of an individual artist. If Basquiat was the more serious, the more socially engaged -- "carried by anger" at the invisibility of black people -- Warhol was not as detached as he sometimes came across.
