Connection - The Odd Couple Jean Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol circa 1986. Both brilliant artists, troubled, often misunderstood, battled addiction. The two artists connected on many levels.
It was like some crazy art-world marriage and they were the odd couple. The relationship was symbiotic. Jean-Michel thought he needed Andy’s fame, and Andy thought he needed Jean-Michel’s new blood. Jean-Michel gave Andy a rebellious image again. Their lives were short lived, but their body of work lives on.
