Jean-Michel Basquiat : an interview
"On this program we see a rare interview with the mercurial painter Jean Michel Basquiat, that was conducted in 1983 in his studio in SOHO. Basquiat, an internationally renowned artist as well as the enfant terrible of the 1980's art scene, died tragically in 1988 at the age of 28. Both, during his brief life and since his death, stories and legends abound which chronicle his meteoric rise to art world stardom ... On this program, the 21 year old Basquiat is interviewed by art historian-curator Marc H. Miller, Ph. D. Already a well known art world figure, Basquiat's fondness for high jinks as well as his exuberant spirit are captured as he describes his working process and comments upon his art world persona."
