Ah, summer in the city! New York offers a myriad of choices for your entertainment and to perhaps enhance your appreciation of art and its crucial role in society. Aside from simply cruising the streets to see new works directly on city walls, one exhibition firmly rooted in the New York street art story that we highly recommend this summer is entitled “Jean-Michel Basquiat: King Pleasure” currently on view in Chelsea. The exhibition is organized by his family with his sisters Lisane Basquiat and Jeanine Heriveaux directing a narrative that is personal and revelatory. The exhibition opened in the Spring and we wrote about it HERE
