Further About:
The historic photo taken in Paris by Jérôme Schlomoff, shows Basquiat tightly clasping Jack Kerouac’s The Subterraneans— a novel about an interracial relationship and jazz culture expressed in the "spontaneous prose" style in which Kerouac composed most of his works: A style so reminiscent of the feeling inherent to much of Basquiat's work.
'Before opening his own gallery in the late 1980s, the Iranian-born Baghoomian was known to have operated a cash business in a SoHo basement where artists desperate for money could bring their works. That gallery was owned by Baghoomian’s cousin, the iconic 1980s art dealer, Tony Shafrazi. Eventually Baghoomian came to represent Basquiat, when that artist had broken ties with his previous dealers. Baghoomian organized Basquiat’s last show in New York, and after Basquiat died of a drug overdose in the spring of 1988, just a few months after that show closed, Baghoomian was said to have claimed a fifty percent share of all the works in Basquiat’s estate, numbering in the hundreds.
During this time, Baghoomian had been pursued by creditors, among them the New York financing firm Rosenthal and Rosenthal, which had been a partner with Baghoomian in some lucrative secondary-market transactions. (One angry creditor with a stick was stalking Baghoomian in the lobby of his gallery’s SoHo building on 28 March, the day the gallery bolted its doors shut.)
At the time of Baghoomian’s disappearance, he was engaged in a bitter legal battle with the Basquiat estate, a battle that appeared to be weighing decisively in the estate’s favor. The Basquiat estate was said to be after twenty or so paintings, which Baghoomian says he sold for cash immediately after Basquiat’s death.' (The Art Newspaper 31 May 1992)

About Leni Sinclair
A recognized leader of the 1960s-70s counter cultural movement in Detroit and a trusted documenter of the rock n’ roll scene of that same era, Leni Sinclair is known for her vivid photographs which captured faithfully the raw drama that unfolded before her lens. But she may be best known for capturing the raucous rock n’ roll scene of that era, including photographs of such rock legends as Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin, and jazz icons such as Miles Davis and Sun Ra.
Focusing her lens on musicians and fellow activists from nightclubs to festivals to street demonstrations, Sinclair captured a pivotal era in American history when art and politics intertwined. Some of her photos – including shots of jazz saxophonist John Coltrane and of Nigeria’s rebel music star Fela Kuti – are among the most widely known of their subjects. What seems, at first glance, to be candid scenes featuring musicians, activists, party goers and demonstrators, read together as a more powerful story: that of an American society where art and politics were inextricably intertwined.
Of recent notoriety Sinclair was exhibited at Detroit’s MOCAD (Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit) as part of her first major U.S. solo museum exhibition, “Moto City Underground”. The 80-year-old artist, author and social justice organizer still lives in Detroit, where she married politically active poet and jazz critic John Sinclair...
