WIDOW BASQUIAT : A MEMOIR – JENNIFER CLEMENT-JENNIFER CLEMENT-MICHAEL HOLMAN

"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. In 1988, unable to deal with the demands that his new fame brought, Basquiat, the most successful black visual artist in history, died from a heroin overdose at age twenty-seven. Widow Basquiat is an exploration of the artist as seen through the eyes of his muse, Suzanne. It is a love story like no other."
