This summer Jack Shainman Gallery will host the exhibition “Basquiat x Warhol”, which explores the artists’ creative exchanges during the final years of their lives. The show features seven collaborative paintings made between 1984 and 1985, including “Eggs”. It also comprises individual works by both artists, among which are Warhol’s 1986 “The Last Supper (Camel/57)” and large-scale oil and acrylic paintings by Basquiat. The exhibition will also include Basquiat’s “Untitled (Football Helmet)” sculpture, which features the artist’s own hair. As a testament to their friendship, he instructed Warhol to hear the helmet for 24 hours to understand what it felt to be observed as a black man in America. Warhol and Basquiat were formally introduced in the fall of 1982 by art dealer Bruno Bischofberger. The pair soon formed a personal and professional relationship, which lasted until Warhol’s death in 1987.
