Throwback Thursdays: 1983 Basquiat Interview

This week’s Throwback Thursday comes in the form of an interview with legendary artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. The interview was conducted in early 1983 in Jean-Michel Basquiat's studio on Crosby Street in SOHO, taped at about 3pm shortly after Jean-Michel woke up for the day, it begins slowly and picks up as the artists begins to wake. Conducted by Dr. Mark H. Miller, Curator and Adjunct Professor of Art History at New York University the 34 min. interview is pretty odd but a rare gem worth checking out with some great insights from the artist including calling hip hop a fashion movement that has already passed!
