Dopo Londra, tappa a Francoforte per Basquiat

18 Febbraio 2018

Oltre 100 opere, tra dipinti, disegni, quaderni e oggetti provenienti da collezioni pubbliche e private, definiscono il percorso espositivo della mostra che la Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt, in Germania, accoglie fino al 27 maggio prossimo. Insieme a film rari, fotografie, musica e materiale d’archivio, la mostra delinea un intenso ritratto di Jean-Michel Basquiat, collocando le sue opere nell'orizzonte culturale del suo tempo.
