I'm speaking today with Lea Bischofberger, a Zurich-based gallerist and art dealer whose life and work are bound up with one of the most remarkable legacies in postwar and contemporary art.The Bischofberger name runs through some of the defining artistic relationships of the late twentieth century. Her father, Bruno (who passed away in late spring 2026), was a legendary gallerist who worked with Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Jean Tinguely, as well as Francesco Clemente, Julian Schnabel, David Salle, George Condo, Miquel Barceló, Enzo Cucchi, Peter Halley and Mike Bidlo.But Lea's story isn't only one of inheritance. It is also one of proximity, intuition, independence and renewal. Having grown up close to the artists, collections and conversations that helped shape art history, she now carries that experience into her own gallery work in Zurich.Through Lea Bischofberger Gallery and Lele Projects, she has shown artists including Kate Daudy, Geraldina Bassani Antivari, Ashkan Sahihi, Roberto Ruspoli, Aryana Sheibani and Ulf Saupe. The programme suggests a more intimate and exploratory chapter, one attentive to memory, materiality, portraiture, language and psychological presence.In this conversation we talk about legacy, taste, the changing role of the art dealer, Zurich as an art-world city, and what it means to carry history forward without being defined by it.

Recorded in the sunburnt delirium of Miami, Duncan and crew stumble out of the Midwest and into the heat of the fairs, only to find a familiar sensibility in an unexpected place: Dreamsong. Rebecca Heidenberg joins the conversation to talk about building a gallery ecosystem in Minneapolis that resists isolation and instead fosters dialogue between regional artists and those working in larger art centers like New York and Los Angeles. From this conversation we get a portrait of a space that operates as both a commercial gallery and something closer to a cultural commons, anchored by programming, residency initiatives, and a commitment to community. From the founding logic of Dreamsong to the evolution of the Cloud House residency program, Rebecca outlines a model that prioritizes relationships over market pressure. The conversation moves fluidly between Minneapolis as a site of artistic possibility, the economics of running a gallery outside New York, and the strange spectacle of Miami's art fair ecosystem, including dystopian crypto exhibitions and phantom Lamborghini launches. Along the way: documentary filmmaking in Cuba, the legacy of an art-dealing mother, the emotional labor embedded in artistic practice, and the ongoing tension between "pretty" art and meaningful engagement in a complicated political moment. It's Midwest pragmatism meets art world absurdity. And somehow, it works.

Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-1988) var en legendarisk og særegen amerikansk kunstner. Uttrykket hans likner ikke på noen andres, men det er mange som prøver å likne på ham.Basquiat er aktuell med utstillingen Headstrong som vises på Louisiana kunstmuseum til 17. mai 2026.I denne episoden dekoder kunsthistoriker og forlagsleder for Munchmuseets forlag, Josephine Langebrekke Basquiats Undiscovered Genius i samtale med kunsthistoriker og programleder i Kunstpodden, Cecilie Tyri Holt.
Welcome to episode #1034 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). At a time when the lines between culture, commerce and identity feel increasingly blurred, few people understand how value is actually constructed… and reconstructed… better than Douglas Woodham. A former President of the Americas at Christie's and a longtime advisor through his firm Art Fiduciary Advisors, Doug brings a rare dual lens to the conversation… equal parts economist and art obsessive. With a PhD in economics and decades spent inside the machinery of the global art market, he has seen firsthand how artists move from obscurity to icon status… and how markets, narratives and power structures shape that journey . His latest book, Jean-Michel Basquiat - The Making of an Icon, goes far beyond biography to examine how one artist's legacy was not just created… but carefully engineered. In this conversation, Doug explores the intersection of art and economics, unpacking how scarcity, status and human behavior drive the desire to collect… and why ownership has become increasingly performative in a social media age. He challenges the romantic notion that value is purely about the work itself, pointing instead to branding, cultural timing and strategic stewardship… particularly in Basquiat's posthumous rise. We also dig into the broader shifts reshaping the art world… from the declining cultural centrality of fine art to the rise of alternative collectibles, the failure of NFTs to gain traction in traditional markets, and the fragile economics behind fractional ownership models. What emerges is a sharper understanding that art is not just about beauty or expression… it is about markets, narratives and belief systems that determine what is worth owning… and why.

Fab 5 Freddy is a New York City legend who emerged in the early 1980s as a defining figure in the rise of hip-hop and graffiti culture. In his new memoir, "Everybody's Fly: A Life of Art, Music, and Changing the Culture," he shares a firsthand account of helping shape a cultural movement that changed the world. Freddy joined NY1's Errol Louis to talk about growing up in Bedford-Stuyvesant surrounded by jazz, and how early hip-hop, graffiti and the downtown punk/new wave scenes collided and cross-pollinated. He reflected on his roles in the film "Wild Style" and Blondie's "Rapture" video alongside Jean-Michel Basquiat, and explored themes of creativity, competition and cultural evolution — from the early days of street art to its global influence today. He also weighed in on Burning Man and the impact of gentrification on New York's creative ecosystems.
Demetrius Wilson describes painting as a living exchange—where the canvas responds, shifts, and ultimately becomes something greater than he first imagined. In this episode, abstract painter Demetrius Wilson reflects on his second solo exhibition at Half Gallery and the evolution of a practice rooted in intuition, movement, and material dialogue. Working at the intersection of environment, memory, and abstraction, Wilson explores how color, scale, and gesture can evoke both personal and collective experience.But this conversation goes beyond painting.Here, Demetrius considers what it means to create in a rapidly changing world—tracing how a 1990s upbringing, spiritual inquiry, and a desire to expand visual language all shape his approach to art-making and meaning.In this episode Demetrius shares:His recent exhibition Light in a Dark Mirror and why it represents his strongest body of work to dateThe idea of painting as a “symbiotic” process—where the work responds and evolves in real timeGrowing up on the East Coast in the 1990s and how that era shapes his perspective and processHis approach to color—using heat, temperature, and contrast to evoke emotional intensityHis relationship to spirituality and how religious ideas subtly surface in his recent workKey artistic influences including Ed Clark, Jack Whitten, Mark Bradford, Cecily Brown, Francis Bacon, and Jean-Michel Basquiat. How scale shifts perception, from expansive canvases to intimate works on paperAt its core, this conversation is about movement—between control and release, past and present, clarity and ambiguity. Through Demetrius Wilson's reflections, painting emerges as both a physical act and a philosophical inquiry: a space where memory, environment, and emotion collide, and where abstraction becomes a language for navigating a world that is constantly in flux.Connect with Sade: Subscribe to the Light Work newsletter Visit Sade's websiteVisit the Light Work websiteFollow Sade on Instagram Follow Light Work on InstagramWatch the episodes on YouTubeReview us on Apple Podcasts---------------------------------Follow & Subscribe Subscribe on SubstackFollow Light Work on Instagram Follow Folasade Ologundudu on InstagramYouTube - Subscribe to the Light Work YouTube Channel

Recorded on the fly during art fair week, live at NADA, this conversation with Dan Attoe moves from metal-kid origin stories to Zen meditation, daily practice, tattooing, landscape painting, and the unexpected turn toward writing a horror novel. Duncan opens with a personal note: a Dan Attoe painting has been hanging in his home for 22 years, a wedding gift that quietly embedded itself into the fabric of his life, which frames the conversation, and traces Attoe's arc from rural Idaho and northern Minnesota outsider to one of the most recognizable painters of his generation. Attoe talks about the seven-year run of making a painting every weekday, a discipline that functioned less as a productivity hack and more as a survival strategy. What began as wild, sex-and-drugs-and-rowdy-party imagery rooted in imagined social worlds gradually shifted toward the meditative landscapes he's now known for. These aren't observed sites but constructed psychic spaces, built from memory, attention, and what he calls a process of "composting" experience. Zen practice, daily drawing, and tattooing form a three-part studio structure that keeps the work in motion. Learning to tattoo on his own body sharpened his attention to contrast, permanence, and empathy, feeding directly back into the paintings. Along the way we get patches, skate culture, Methodist guilt, Barry McGee installations, Walker Art Center bookstore theory dives, and the long road from being told to abandon heavy-metal imagery to fully embracing it as the engine of a mature practice. The conversation closes on writing: how Stephen King, the Iowa Writers' Workshop, and decades of accumulated art-world experience led Attoe to channel theory, narrative, and lived history into a horror novel. It's a talk about attention, energy, and letting the work tell you what it needs to become.

Not all art is love at first sight. This week, we spotlight the hard-to-get artists — those acquired tastes who confuse you before they convert you. In the conversation, we celebrate bold originals like Richard Corben and Tony Salmons, unpacking how their styles challenged comic readers and pushed boundaries within the medium. Beyond the panel borders, we cite rule-breakers Ralph Steadman and Jean-Michel Basquiat, alongside surreal giants Frida Kahlo and Salvador Dalí — artists who proved that being “strange” isn't a flaw, it's a feature. We also swap stories about artists who weren't our cup of tea when we were younger, and how second and third looks turned skepticism into respect. Then we ask the hard stuff: Does great art require effort from its audience? And is it okay if some art leaves people behind?
On the occasion of the inaugural Art Basel Qatar, The Baer Faxt sat down with a bevy of guests with ties to the region including Jean-Paul (JP) Engelen, Director at Acquavella and former Americas president at Phillips auction house.

It's New York's hellacious summer of '77. Rampant crime, a city-wide blackout and the Son of Sam murders have knocked Gotham on its ass. When Lucien Lowe, a young poet on the downtown scene, is found dead in his East Village tenement with a heroin needle in his arm, overworked cops rule it an accidental overdose. But Ike's wealthy girlfriend Julie Baroda suspects murder and urges Ike's best friend, the artist and punk rock fashion designer Finn Burdon, to investigate.Despite Finn's own issues with heroin, he shows an uncanny talent for detective work. As Julie, Finn and police detective Benny Cherin dig deeper, their investigation ultimately encompasses some of the most famous names of 1970s New York, including William S. Burroughs, Jean-Michel Basquiat, CBGB owner Hilly Kristal, Allen Ginsberg, Lou Reed, Truman Capote, Roy Cohn, Fat Tony Salerno, Holly Woodlawn, Steve Rubell, Andrew Crispo, Bella Abzug, Leonard Cohen and many others. In the process, they begin to glimpse the outlines of a violent plot to sabotage the opening night of Hilly Kristal's highly anticipated new venue, The CBGB 2nd Avenue Theater, when Patti Smith is playing and it's packed with thousands.Set during the glory days of New York's downtown music, art, literary and fashion scenes, The CBGB Conspiracy mixes fiction with a host of real events and historical figures. Behind them all looms a character just as visceral and ultimately doomed: the crumbling New York of 1977.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio. Hosted on Acast.

Being laughed at or criticized or misunderstood is the price of leaving the herd and producing your magic.Aside from the mastery on the canvas and the genius of the brushstrokes, what makes a work of art by Jean Michel Basquiat worth hundreds of millions and this rough-edges piece worth so little is the signature at the bottom.

Jeudi 22/12/1960 - Naissance de Jean Michel BASQUIATJean-Michel BASQUIAT est né le 22 décembre 1960 à Brooklyn. Il est l'un des artistes les plus marquants du XXe siècle.Sa carrière fulgurante, son style unique mêlant graffiti messages et références culturelles multiples ont fait de lui une figure légendaire.Indissociable de New York, cette ville où il est né et où il est mort, aura aussi été sa toile et l'endroit où il aura passé la plupart des années de sa courte vie.Cet artiste majeur reste une icône new-yorkaise des années 1980 qui a révolutionné l'art contemporain et inspiré des générations d'artistes partout dans le monde.-------------N'hésitez pas à aller visiter notre site racontemoinewyork.com Retrouvez tous les liens des réseaux sociaux et des plateformes du podcast ici : https://linktr.ee/racontemoinewyorkHébergé par Ausha.

“People today are so used to Basquiat's prices being extraordinarily high and rising that it's almost hard for people to understand that wasn't always the case. In the year he died, 1988, a terrific painting by Basquiat might have sold for $30,000. Relative to his other artistic peers, like a great Julian Schnabel painting that cost $800,000. After Basquiat died, some speculative capital entered his market, and his prices did pop, but in the early 1990s, his prices fell apart, and for much of the first half of the 1990s, his work was selling for 80% off what it had been selling before. Auction houses didn't want to include him in their auctions. There was a really good chance he was going to be remembered, but certainly not become a great star. Three key figures believed in him and proceeded to buy almost every available Basquiat in the first half of the 1990s. They were also just passionate believers in his work. But for those three people, it would have taken much longer for Basquiat to achieve acclaim, if ever.”Today, we're joined by someone uniquely positioned to unpack the art world's inner workings and to help us understand one of its most mythic figures — Jean-Michel Basquiat. Doug Woodham is the author of the new biography, Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Making of an Icon, the first major life study of Basquiat in over twenty-five years. Drawing on more than a hundred interviews — from family and friends to collectors and curators — Doug traces the rise, fall, and resurrection of an artist who redefined what it means to be a cultural icon. Before turning to writing, Doug served as President of the Americas for Christie's, one of the world's leading auction houses. That role gave him an insider's perspective on how value is created — and mythologized — in the modern art market. In this conversation, we'll explore not just the man behind the legend, but the powerful machinery that turned Jean-Michel Basquiat into one of the most recognized and commercially successful artists in the world.Episode Websitewww.creativeprocess.info/podInstagram:@creativeprocesspodcastImages courtesy of Doug Woodham and Thames & Hudson.

“All of the great artists are there for a reason: because they rebelled in some way. They created a visual vocabulary that felt fresh and new, which excited people. So, the great artists are not built on sort of anthills of sand. They're built on things of substance and of meaning. Though this is not a sufficient condition to become an icon, it's a necessary but not sufficient condition. I think you have to have an interesting and vivid personality or personal narrative that makes you interesting for people to talk about and want to learn about. I think you also have to have a support network of galleries, curators, and collectors who are excited about your work and want to push it forward, not wanting it to be forgotten. Basquiat's visual vocabulary is distinctive and stands out relative to what was being done in the 1980s. That's the sort of strong hill on which his reputation is built. Basquiat benefited from being the first black artist of note who got pushed forward.

“All of the great artists are there for a reason: because they rebelled in some way. They created a visual vocabulary that felt fresh and new, which excited people. So, the great artists are not built on sort of anthills of sand. They're built on things of substance and of meaning. Though this is not a sufficient condition to become an icon, it's a necessary but not sufficient condition. I think you have to have an interesting and vivid personality or personal narrative that makes you interesting for people to talk about and want to learn about.

Stories about legacy often reveal more than the moments that made someone known. In this episode of Celebrity Estates, author and advisor Doug Woodham joins the show to explore how Jean-Michel Basquiat's unexpected passing set off a chain of estate challenges tied to illiquid assets, sudden value changes and family decisions. Doug explains how the … Read More Read More
THE 27 CLUB The 27 Club is a popular culture phenomenon and urban legend referring to the unusual number of influential musicians, artists, and actors who have died at the age of 27, often due to drug or alcohol abuse, suicide, or accidents. While scientific studies have debunked the idea of a statistical spike in musician deaths at this specific age, the perceived coincidence continues to capture public fascination. The myth gained prominence in the early 1970s with the deaths of several rock icons in a short period, and the narrative was reinforced after Kurt Cobain's death in 1994 and Amy Winehouse's in 2011. Notable Members The most prominent figures associated with the 27 Club include: Robert Johnson (d. 1938): A pioneering Delta blues musician, he is considered the "first" member of the club and is part of the legend that he sold his soul to the devil for musical prowess. Brian Jones (d. 1969): The founding member and original leader of The Rolling Stones, he drowned in his swimming pool after consuming alcohol and drugs. Jimi Hendrix (d. 1970): The innovative and highly influential rock guitarist who died of a drug overdose involving barbiturates. Janis Joplin (d. 1970): A powerful blues and rock singer, she died of a heroin overdose in her hotel room. Jim Morrison (d. 1971): The enigmatic lead singer of The Doors, whose cause of death in Paris was officially ruled as heart failure, though drug use was suspected. Kurt Cobain (d. 1994): The frontman of the grunge band Nirvana, he died by a self-inflicted gunshot wound, with a high concentration of heroin in his system. Amy Winehouse (d. 2011): The British singer-songwriter known for her soulful voice, she died of accidental alcohol poisoning. Other artists and actors sometimes included in the broader list are artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, Grateful Dead keyboardist Ron "Pigpen" McKernan, and actor Anton Yelchin. Cultural Impact vs. Statistical Reality The enduring nature of the 27 Club is less about a true statistical anomaly and more about the power of storytelling and media reinforcement. The concentration of several highly famous deaths at the same age within a short timeframe (1969-1971) created a powerful narrative that stuck in the public consciousness. While one study published in the British Medical Journal in 2011 found that young adult musicians have a higher death rate overall than the general population, it concluded there was no specific increased risk at age 27 compared to other young ages. However, the myth itself has led to increased visibility and cultural prominence for those who die at that age, perpetuating the idea.

Art dealer Mary Boone and Lévy Gorvy Dayan co-founder Brett Gorvy, who both worked on the exhibition, join us to discuss the show which is on display through Saturday, Dec. 13.
Kim Baker has lived an iconic life. From her first photoshoot at 13 years old to being managed by Bethann Hardisson, she divided her time between breaking down barriers and partying with fashion legends. In this episode, Kim walks us through the beginning of her fashion career and how her mother instilled unshakeable confidence in her by detailing the beauty of Black history. Kim offers us a peek into the highs and lows of the modeling industry in the 1980s, namely, early sexual harassment and stringent expectations about her body and weight. Kim doesn't hold back when it comes to sharing her experiences with other iconic cultural figures, including meeting Jean Michel Basquiat and going into labor at Grace Jones' birthday party at Studio 54. Kim doesn't hold back when it comes to other difficult experiences, like how a whirlwind romance led to her facing a 65-year prison sentence. But Kim is no stranger to reinvention. She pioneered plus-size modeling in the 1990s, stepped behind the camera and became a makeup artist, and worked with Bobbi Brown for 14 years as one of her earliest employees. Kim's career leveled up again when she accepted an opportunity to do glam for Tom Cruise and Laurence Fishburne. She realized a prediction she made at the age of nine and launched her own makeup line, Glamazon Beauty, in 2016. Kim's transparency about her career, motherhood, and her faith illuminates why she has remained a staple in the beauty and fashion scene.

Basquiat painted a premonition of Nipsey Hussle in 1982. Basquiat summoned the spirit of Ermias three years before Ermias was born in 1985.

In this episode of LEGENDS: Podcast by All Day Vinyl, host Scott Dudelson sits down with multifaceted artist Lee Jaffe — close friend & former member of Bob Marley & The Wailers, producer of Peter Tosh's groundbreaking album "Legalize It" and renowned visual artist. Lee Jaffe takes us from his roots growing up in New York and the path that led him to a close friendship and working relationship with Bob Marley. Our chat dives into this incredible journey — attending the premiere of Jimmy Cliff's "Harder They Come" with Chris Blackwell, traveling the USA and Jamaica with The Wailers, recording harmonica on Bob Marley's Natty Dread album, taking iconic photos of the reggae legends of the 1970's and witnessing firsthand the creative magic and global rise of Reggae. He shares rare, behind-the-scenes stories from the studio, on the stage and unforgettable moments on the road with Bob Marley & The Wailers. Lee Jaffe also reveals how his close friendship with Marley and Tosh led to his role producing and taking the cover photo for Peter Tosh's legendary Legalize It album— and the unbelievable marijuana smuggling operation that helped fund the album's creation. Beyond reggae, he reflects on working with visionary artist Jean-Michel Basquiat and his latest book, Hit Me With Music: Roots, Rock, and Reggae, which captures these legendary moments through art and photography. Lee Jaffee is an incredible storyteller with incredible stories and I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it.

Christopher Wool talks to Ben Luke about his influences—from writers to musicians, film-makers and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped their lives and work. Wool, who was born in Chicago in 1955, and lives between New York and Marfa, Texas, today, is a sophisticated and dextrous explorer of the act of making paintings and other forms of art. He emerged in a period in which painting's validity was being questioned amid the supremacy of conceptual and photographic practices in the avant-garde scene of New York in the late 1970s. And he has made light of that doubt in a cerebral practice in which he probes paint's capacity to reflect diverse material properties, processes and effects, its openness to chance events and slippages, and its ability to contain or convey meaning through words and image. Working in often overlapping series embodied by particular methods or tools, propositions and actions, his practice has been one of relentless curiosity, where his own output is consistently reevaluated and recast through the literal repurposing of existing imagery as the foundation of new works. Though best known for his paintings, Christopher has made photographs from the start of his career, and since the mid-2010s has developed a fertile seam of sculpture. His work across all these media is similarly agile, with the different strands in a seemingly endless evolving conversation on pictorial, material and spatial concerns. He discusses the seismic effect of experiencing the Art Ensemble of Chicago and an installation by Dan Flavin as a young person, seeing Jean-Michel Basquiat's first New York solo show with Dieter Roth, how Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye influenced one of his untitled text paintings, and eventually the title of his recent acclaimed New York and Marfa show, See Stop Run, and how jazz has been a consistent source of inspiration. He gives insight into his life in the studio and answers our usual questions, including the ultimate, “What is art for?”Christopher Wool, Gagosian, Grosvenor Hill, London, until 19 December; See Stop Run West Texas, Brite Building, Marfa, Texas, until at least May 2027. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Jean-Michel Basquiat is one of the most important artists of the 20th century and one of the top-selling artists in today's market, but his career and market trajectory weren't nearly as smooth as they might seem today. In this week's episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, host Adam Green speaks with Doug Woodham, author of Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Making of an Icon (out October 14, available now for pre-order). They discuss Basquiat's rise, the dramatic collapse of his market in the 1990s, and the extraordinary comeback that followed, including the crucial role played by a small group of influential collectors. Doug also shares insights on how curators reframed Basquiat's legacy, the unique way his estate has been managed, the impact of the auction houses, and the most misunderstood aspects of Basquiat's life, art, and market.
Ian and Jeff travel back to the vibrant art scene of early-80s New York City with a look at two related but very different films, Make Me Famous and Basquiat!The former is Brian Vincent's 2021 documentary about obscure expressionist portraitist Edward Brezinski, who lived in a crumbling 3rd Street slum; he spent his days painting and his nights hitting up gallery openings trying to drum up interest in his work (as well as scrounging for food and drink). He orbited the likes of Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat, but never caught on to the "It" factor that carried many of his contemporaries to super-stardom and wealth.Julian Schnabel's 1996 drama, Basquiat, stars Jeffrey Wright as the titular, troubled painter of graffiti and challenging art pieces. The disjointed film chronicles his ascent to fame as a protege of Andy Warhol (David Bowie), and his descent into a drug-fueled early demise at the age of 27.As alums of Chicago's American Academy of Art, your enthusiastic hosts dive right into what makes both films essential viewing--despite flaws both minor and nigh insurmountable. Ian and Jeff talk about their affinity for films about artists; the thematic threads that weave through two works that differ in form but unite in defining a vivid time, place, and people; and lament the commoditization of creativity presaged in both Basquiat and Brezinski's stories.Support Kicking the Seat on Patreon, subscribe to us on YouTube, and follow us at:XLetterboxdInstagramFacebookBlueSkyShow LinksWatch the Make Me Famous (2021) trailer.Watch the Basquiat (1996) trailer.Follow all things Make Me Famous at the film's official website.Order the new 4K UHD of Basquiat from The Criterion Collection.And read Roger Durling's essay about the controversial restoration here.Keep up with Jeff York's criticism and caricatures at The Establishing Shot and Pipeline Artists.

Jean-Michel Basquiat's graffiti in Lower Manhattan was mistaken for a CIA operation. He was the toast of the New York art world while sleeping on floors in squalid apartments. He sold his first painting to Blondie's Debbie Harry for $200. Less than a year later, his paintings were going for more than $20,000. And decades later, the debate over what is and what is not a real Basquiat rages on. This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including a depiction of police brutality. This episode was originally published on April 25, 2024. Basquiat excelled at both visual art and music. What other musicians excelled in a second skill, art form, or sport?
