As a very young Black man, Basquiat achieved the unthinkable—he actually became one of the greats—and now his work will sustain his extended family for generations.
“King Pleasure”—which has no official closing date as yet—is intended to feel welcoming and accessible to people turned off by museums and white-box gallery spaces, an ideal reflected in its pointedly un-didactic wall texts. Historically, my own skittishness around Basquiat shows had less to do with where they were shown—although I was deeply annoyed by thethat I never got into—than with the inscrutability of the work itself.
Cynics should expect to be somewhat disarmed by the exhibition, even with its adjoining “emporium” filled with clothing, accessories, home goods, and more things emblazoned with Basquiat’s handwriting and symbols. But buried in all of this is a happy, and thoroughly American, story. As a very young Black man, Basquiat achieved the unthinkable—heone of the greats—and now his work will sustain his extended family for generations.
