Henry Geldzahler and Jean-Michel Basquiat
By Andy Warhol
Located in Beverly Hills, CA
This is a unique photographic work taken by Andy Warhol.
Jean-Michel Basquiat first attracted attention for with graffiti work on the Lower East Side of Manhattan in the late 1970s. Basquiat first met Andy Warhol in 1980. At this point, Pat Hackett had been working for Warhol for about a decade already. This was also the year Hackett and Warhol published Popism: The Warhol Sixties. As two valuable additions to The Factory, Hackett and Basquiat most likely spent a good amount of time together.
