This is from the final episode of State of the Art, a series of documentaries about the visual arts in the 1980s.
Filmed in Europe, the United States and Australia in 1985-6, the six programmes feature many key artists including -- in addition to Basquiat and Warhol -- Cindy Sherman, Antony Gormley, Hans Haacke, Eric Fischl and Joseph Beuys. The films also explore the intellectual context of the time and the ideas of post-modernism.
The series was originally seen on Channel 4 in Britain, and then shown in more than 20 countries.

I don’t understand why people are saying these guys aren’t “real artists,” what should they be doing painting a really detailed picture of something? Art is different for everyone.
E H Gombrich said it best when he said there is no such thing as art, there is only artists.
I like it because it fulfills my ego
Hlebec Kruha you comparing Basquiat and Michelangelo is like comparing Kobe to Tom Brady. They are obviously both artists but being an artist cannot be quantified by what you are trying to put it in a box for. You just come off as incredibly pretentious. Trying to be respectful but that’s a really dumb opinion to have smh
People want detailed pictures from some random kings lol :D
everything is art
Basquiats hair must have been kind of shocking back then, as that style wasn’t really popular.
Exactly. That's just it. WAY ahead of his time. Advanced soul for sure.
Not really. He was an artist in nyc in the 80s.
They’ve been free forming way before basquiat
It wasn't that uncommon. It was just after the punk era.
oof sauce punk started in the late 70s, especially in the uk! this is the mid 80s
"Black people are never portrayed realistically"-Jean Michel-basquiat
lol
bruh

@@rsrchfldr7997 I mean I guess you're technically right, but first of all, that's not modern art, that's a friggin cave from centuries ago; secondly, of course, you can say 'artistry has been very much present', but that's because those South African's were painting themselves, it's not exactly the mainstream modernistic art in society that Basquiat was addressing was it?; thirdly, looking at modern art and the eras surrounding it, there's definitely a scarcity of black portrayal.
@@ryanlee9150 "that's a friggin cave from centuries ago"
And? If anything they should be appreciated more. They show us a glimpse of the early humans way of life up until now. True priceless work of art.
I’ve no doubt that Warhol’s death contributed significantly to Basquiat’s downward spiral.
Thank you for reminding me to get a new copy of Basquiat: A killing in art. It details exactly what lead to his passing. His long time girlfriend also has a book called widow basquiat that reflects it. 😐
I describe the treatment of Basquiat by the art world and commercial culture as condescending. But you! You've topped them. Basquiat required the fall of a rich connected white patron before he could 'spiral' on his own? Top notch fuckery, top notch. Own it. Bask in your loop.
@@clumsiii he probably meant cause they were friends... calm yourself
Bruno Biscofberger was using Basquiat's painting to wash his money. Jean found out.
@@clumsiii They were simply friends. Please don't overlay that disgusting critical race theory onto it.
Andy Warhol in his later years looked like someone dressed as Andy Warhol as a pose to Andy Warhol himself, idk if that makes sense lol
I get it, for me he's like a rough version of Sally Jesse Raphael
It makes since also because sometimes... It's been said that he would have some of his people dress up as him and wear his wigs so he didn't have to do interviews and appearances himself.
@@chloelawrence3394 yooo really?
Andy wasn't the same after being shot!
Yeas
I think he made his paintings to translate his feelings about the worlds judgement about him. Being brilliant and black. Nobody treated him as such. Nobody elevated him.
Until he died
warhol had already made him famous
You’re saying one of the world’s most most famous artists didn’t “elevate” Basquiat? Do you know anything about his career arc?
Coitus Handguns stfu, try and create a new style of art, try being different, try getting famous for it. Try painting like him- you can’t. He’s 1 in 1000, he can be considered a genius
He was very elevated. By Warhol, by his Gallery, he was in art magazines and books .
RIP Andy Warhol (August 6, 1928 - February 22, 1987), aged 58
And
RIP Jean-Michel Basquiat (December 22, 1960 - August 12, 1988), aged 27
You both will be remembered as legends.
Basically 2 retsrds
It's crazy that they were both gone within two years of this doc.
@@markandresen1 not real artists
@mgtowchampion7961 why not?
@@leif1075 let's look at facts...
Andy wurhol took a photograph of Marilyn Monroe that he didn't create in the first place and covered it in a colour scheme that a 3 year old would have chosen in finger painting class in school. Then the image was classed as copyright in a court room (possibly in New York) and the court case decided that the image was not a creation but simply a doctored image of someone's work, or in other words not an artist but someone simply sick in the mind.
Jackson Pollock,...
An alcoholic that simply dripped paint onto canvas with no clear thought on what the painting would be and all he created was something a 2 year old would have done with pots of children's paints while sitting at the kitchen table while his mother was cooking dinner. Not an artist but someone simply sick in the mind.
Now for facts...
Bob Ross, a real artist who would paint landscapes of reality with correct colour schemes. (A real artist)
Wish there was more footage of him painting to jazz music!
Although i loooove Warhol for his eye & major contributions to Americana but Basquiat was CLEARLY the star of the room....but listen how the tone of the narrator is somewhat condescending. Basquiat understood the power of photography & peeped the awkward energy, it thats why he STOOD in the picture
so what
I got the impression that he didn't like the way that arrangement subtly conveyed the white guy in the suit sort of "lording" it over his "subjects". Not only did it belittle him as a black man, but it belittled Warhol, too, as if saying artists are lower in the hierarchy, too. Basquiat even says, "do you have to be rubbing on his", like, "get your hands off me, I'm not property." My take.
@@micheleroth9708 basquiat actually said "you have to rub us down" as in they were the good luck charms" he didn't mean get your hands off me. but i do agree with what you said about him not liking the arrangement of the seating.
exactly!! basquiat was the real star. warhol was irrelevant at this time in his career, he needed a boost and basquiat came in at the right time. yes, warhol contributed a lot for the pop art world but also was a opportunist leech. i still fucks with Warhol's art tho. but Basquiat still the 🤴🏾
@@809Muzic I can't guess at Warhol's motives because he definitely took a shot backing Basquiat at a time when the art world was quite racially myopic (still is in many ways). Basquiat was willing to deal with the mistreatment from the media & art society to get ahead. Unfortunately, this exhibition backfired yet it paved the way for partnerships, sponsorships, & deals that promote contemporary artists as we know it now IMHO.
I’d never seen Basquiat in video footage before talking and seeing him with Warhol shows just how perfect both Jeffery Wright and David Bowie we’re portraying them in film. The movie is so underrated.
problem with the movie is it failed (maybe on purpose) to truly portray basquiat's political views and such, they only focused on his mannerisms. its a watered down version of the whole story
ドープAguiar it’s still good doe
But Jeffery didn't look like him.. and his mannerisms dialogue were a little off.
Whats the movie called
baquiat
you could tell how much he truly loved warhol
Warhol looks like my aunt
Kid Cudi should play Basquiat!
Agreed.
YES!
Reading this comment made me realize Cudi's uncanny resemblance to Basquiat. I can't believe I never noticed how much they look alike.
hes already been played by a real actor
@@Jesse-fk3xc Not to compare Kid Cudi to Jeffrey Wright, but Kid Cudi has acted. I am weary of expressions like "real actor" because exceptional performances can sometimes come from surprising individuals.
Does anyone else think he has a very relaxing voice
He's v laid back
Their styles go perfectly together
I love this! Warhol painted what was real to him, as did Basquiat...in their own spirit and manner it's fascinating that they found and appreciated one another coming from opposite artistic angles.
Yeah Basquiat was another simpleton that thought he was an artist. Bob ross was a real artist.
"i hope my black skin don't dirt this white tuxedo, before the Basquiat Show"
#purplehearts
Njeru Jack and if so well fuck it fuck it
"And if so, then fuck it"
Amazing footage.
I feel like Basquiat standing up in the picture with the guy in the back is a sign of respect, trying to show that they are equal even though JM is a very popular artist. It almost feels like Warhol couldn’t accept this, being so contentious, given he didn’t find standing up necessary and didn’t even do it after Basquiat did. Maybe I’m overthinking this, but that clip shows Basquiat’s compassion for others perfectly
@John Doe maybe 6 or 8 months later
@@LeDedoubleur This was filmed in 1985, Warhol died in 1987. I don't think he meant disrespect by sitting, he was just in his own world. Basquiat was half the age of these men. Maybe he did stand to show respect but that could be overanalyzing. They were at a photo shoot and he could've just been changing positions for the photos. Warhol on the other hand was known for being very stiff and stoic.
@@roslynq7477
The other guy in the back is Tony Shaffrazi à Art Dealer ;) friend of Basquiat and Warhol .
@@LeDedoubleur Yes, this was at his gallery where Basquiat and Warhol had the exhibition of their collaborations in 1985. I was replying to you and the original post at the same time. The other person commented about Warhol being contentious because he didn't standing up when Shafrazi walked over like Basquiat did.
Andy was shot and nearly died in the late 60s. After surgery and recovery he wore a corset to keep his insides inside. He's most probably seated and not moving much for that reason.
People say it’s not real art because they are esoteric and are not meant to be understood,that’s what makes the so wonderful.
That guy who was standing behind them was weird af like basquiat told him to stop touching him and he got up and then dude just kept touching basquiat
That guy was an art dealer and gallery owner Tony Shafrazi, who organized the collaborative exhibit between 2 artists in his gallery.
@@timuryorkart oh shit, i know about that dude because he vandalized picasso's guernica and is like an insane right winger
Mannnn if I could meet him in my dreams or something !!!! ❤️ true inspiration
RIP Tseng Kwong Chi, he was amazing photographer who you may find a bit rude in this video. But in fact he wasn't rude at all and he photographed Basquiat many times including him painting at his home studio with a cup of coffee on canvas surface.
You want super detailed photo-realistic painting of people?
Paintings where you cant tell if someone painted it or printed it?
Any computer can do that.
This here... is art.
this made me think a lot. the difference between those paintings and these are true, raw emotions in them. very interesting perspective
If you can't tell if a person did the art or a computer did it it would prove that the artist has talent, Andy warhol had no talent he was a simple retard.
Jeffrey Wright played him so good on the movie
Kirill Melentiev Definitely! I'm not saying that as a Bowie fan (I am) but as a movie fan. Benicio del Toro was also underrated as well. Dennis Hopper was another.
I remember that movie.
The weekend apparently goes too the same barber as Basquiat.
LOL. I think he looks more like Maxwell these days.
He said that he was inspired by his hairstyle
Rest in power Jean-Michel Basquit🇭🇹🇵🇷🙏🙏🙏
He is.... so..... handsome......
I get Called that all the time! Thanks babe
"The bosses images and scribbles all over them" haha I wish death on this uncertified interviewer
V Shyne yea definitely was undermining basquiats intelligence
They don't know, who he be. Lol
The movie about him depicted him as having a really annoying habit of painting over other people's art, including Warhol's. But this video shows it as all being pre-planned, which seems more likely
Coitus Handguns a streetart/ Graffiti thing. It was much about marking your territory. If someone else stepped into yours, or you didn’t like him for whatever reason, you go over his work. It’s still common in graffiti these days.
old white man is the boss
Warhol looks pissed and I think that's the beauty of this collaboration. It's doing to him what he did to art in his ultimate prime days. I think he was aware of that and probably why the collaboration was initiated. I consider them artists in their own right, but not artists of pieces that I would want hung in my house and that's ok. My eye for art has a very small pallet. To me, the story is more important than the "art" when it comes to this collaboration.
As Robert Goren (Vincent D'Onofrio) says on "Law and Order: Criminal Intent" years ago, "When it comes to art, I'm not interested in owning it; I'm interested in thinking about it." A solid and useful insight when it comes to the evaluation of art, I've found.
blew my mind
That's right, stand up King.
Jean Michael-Basquiat looks like kid cudi with the weeknd hairstyle
can´t believe people write this on other culture´s videos
It’s not a hairstyle. It’s how some black peoples hair naturally grows.
You mean The Weeknd and kid Cudi look like him cuz he came before them
Andy Warhol noticed real talent.
It took me some time to appreciate his art but once you see it for what it really is you fall in love with it, like a modern touch with a very known and old story. I'm surprised no one made clothes out of his art, but at the same time it could be sacrilegious
I've seen a few sweatshirts but they all focus on his crowns.
there are a few shoe designs with his art like from converse and doc martens
Oh they have made clothes they sell 200$ hoodies at the end of his expo in mtl
And I am surprised no one made toilet paper from his "art"
@@rskl8083 well I quess retards will spend that amount.
Basquiats a genius
John Kramer how isn’t he a genius? You’re just not educated enough to understand these kind of things kiddo
In its truest sense
Why is he a genius? How does he portrait immaculate talent?
biistful art is anything you make it’s not just a detailed picture it’s art. He was an artist with beautiful work..
Coitus Handguns funny thing is Warhol literally pissed on a canvas and are isn’t about what u put on a canvas it’s the intent of it and how it makes the viewers feel
If you guys are into art and not simply JMB's art and you saw the movie w/ Jeffrey Wright, there was a biopic movie about Jackson Pollock from 2000 that was similar (IMO) to the movie "Basquiat". It starred Ed Harris as JP. He was a tortured artist as well, transformative as well, derided by some as well, haunted by substance abuse (booze) as well. Ed Harris did a great job, actually looked like Jackson a lot.
His Hair Was So Cool
Yesterday, I was doing some digital drawings on a MAC computer for an animation that I have been working on in college and my lecturer told me it was similar to a Basquiat painting, now I mind you, I did not know who he was until he told me to look him up and I did and I saw all these interesting paintings that he did and saved one of them to my USB to put in the background of my animation and now seeing this, totally coming across this video and on top of that scrolling through a celebrity's Instagram and seeing a post of her with a friend going to a Basquiat exhibition is telling me something, like I have some connection to this guy or something, I know it sounds kind of odd and ridiculous but, idk, it's just weird. Or maybe the UA-cam coincidence isn't really a coincidence because I think UA-cam maybe linked to Google, kind of? Because of my email address because apparently that's the source of all my media or something like that? but the celeb Instagram coincidence is completely coincidental, I know that and I saw there is a biographical film about him as well, might have to check that out at some point.
Keep on going bruh, and following the trail
@Emiliano Gómez Thought so.
everyone who sees abstract works says basquiat or Picasso. They don't know styles well enough to distinguish anything so they throw you under a label and/or someone's shawdow. I wouldn't take it too seriously
Basquiat is so soft spoken❤️
Jean-Michel deserved a much better “friend/mentor/collaborator/‘come-on-I-wanna-show-ya’” than A. Warhol!
this looks like those videos from french textbooks in the 90s but COOL
Oh man, that interviewer's exasperating.
right, seems that he very weirdly overanalysed it looking for psychological-strategical information
2:45 bro obv does not want mans hands on him!
Basquiat was ahead of his time for sure...He was the youth generation in the 80s for the 2000s
lol nothing 2000's 😂 😂 😂
Basquiat is always my fav ❤️ him and Prince are my male crushes and I’m straight.
He is actually very inspirational
"Who blocks out the BOSS's images or skribbles all over them." Typical...... "Who's the boss now????!!!!!!!!!'
2:26 The narator say that
Tony Danza last I checked
Basquiat was extremely handsome. sorry I had to say it
andy warhol's hair is my hair after quarantine
SIS74 Sisriskia thanks for your comment. I needed the hearty laugh during these surreal times. My fright wig hair is beyond Warhol’s at this point! Yikes. 😹
@@thatredheadava stay strong
SIS74 Sisriskia you too!
2:23 he hated being touched idk if he is stressing here
BASQUIAT R.I.P
Warhol didn't need him, I hate that, they just ran in the same circles and they needed each other being quite removed types the both of them. Basquiat got to be respected Warhol got to keep young and current with Jean's honesty.
I love the voice of pasquiat
At the time those paintings were made, Warhol was out of favor in the Art World and he needed some props. He was down to appearing in cheesy episodes of Love Boat, no one cared about his paintings much. Basquiat's star was shining and Warhol glommed onto it. As did the dealer in that clip, Tony Shafrazi. Basquiat was not stupid and knew it would all reflect good in him/propel him further. The Art World used Basquiat, and they still do, but at least he was able to use them back, to some degree, and make his point about the prejudices in the Art World which run deep. Also, at that time, those collab paintings were trashed by the Art World, and by critics, and were considered failures. It has taken decades for those works to get the credit they deserve. If they had just been Warhols alone, they would be SO boring. Basquiat rocked the whole situation, of course.
Thanks for a bit of mind opening truth.
Very true....Most in the art world are ass-H0les...
It says a lot about art critics doesn't it?
Very true.
Basquiat was such a trash artist. He was only famous because Andy Warhol sucked his dick.
Damn freeforms in the 80s that’s crazy and his were live asf I can’t lie his dreads fire 🔥
whut ? lol it was absolutely normal earlier too what the fuck lol
I need friends like that.. don't lose me too, world.
Aye man go outside and find some true friends. You'd be surprised, but make sure their hearts are true
@@montelhelem8707 Thank you, my dear friend. I hope so; I'll try my best...there's many that gave their souls to devil and many that still living in this world.. they chose their sins/crimes over me. I hope that there's some true friends left in this world.

Jean michel Basquiat was an angel
I do fall in lv with basquiat...💓
One year later, Andy dies and two years later, Basquiat also dies.
This was filmed in October 1985. Warhol died in February 1987 and Basquiat died in August 1988.
I believe these two dated
anyone think basquiat looks a lot like Cudi sometimes ?
Looks like cudi and acts like ian connor
70's and 80's belonged to the middle and upper middle class people, which
had became millionaires from the Economic Boom of the 50's.
They had the money but felt had no taste, so they need it something to be
connected with high class values.
Had no castles, no dress code, no ancestors. But they could have art...!!!
Not necessarily a real taste for it, education better, BUT they still had the money,
so this is where.............. ioLas, Worhal and others came in.
Because everything classical was locked in museums and private collections, They
invented the ''New ART'', baptised everything as ''artistic valued'', because was ready-for-sale,
into these poor arrogant rich middle class people.
The Demand was so highly, Supply had to be equally big.........!!!!
So in reality, Basquiat wasn't really a 'genius' just someone painted as one, till everyone jumped on the bandwagon? It seems plausible honestly, there have always been spin doctors and con men throughout history that involved themselves in a form of art, to profit from it.
Dreary, patronizing commentary on an excellent video
BASQUIAT, DIOS TE TENGA EN DU SANTA GLORIA HERMANO. 🌷
People,even still. Cresendo 💛🧡💚💙💜🌼🌻💯👑! Drella and Basquiat were like the utmost power team for ART💛🧡👑👑💯💯!!!
It’s crazy that they would both be dead in just a couple short years 😔😔
If you drawing perfect picture from reality, you can gey that picture from camara literally but when you drawing thing from your mind that no one every experienced or seen before and that's transmutted to drawing even if it is perfect or not but the viewer getting the emotion that artist wants to potrait, that's what art is MIND TO REALITY TOOL.
That red nose that Andy Warhol has here is a sign of excessive drinking.
adrienne gellman 😂😂
adrienne gellman drinking coca cola jajajaja
Warhol didn't drink
I don't know if he is drunk or not but he took alot of Speed.
Near D. Sade yes its speed. When I used to binge on amphetamines a lot my nose would get red
Warhol looks kinda girly look here. He always looks hunted, scared, no emotion on his face to me. I don’t think he was ever happy. Compared with him, Basquiat seemed happy young boy, unfortunately he lost his life too early age to hang out with wrong crowds. Trading gifted youth with famous & rich isn’t worthy. There must be reasons that Warhol wasn’t happy. Money oriented high class life seems have lots of traps & tragedy.
Besides who gets all the money after the famous artists past away?
Just like young Basquiat did, most of us chase after dreams & popularity to be successful in this world as if we may find happiness thru them. But it’s not. Nothing materialistic in this world will satisfy us or bring happiness into our emptiness but only Jesus will.
He is God who died for our sins so that whoever believes in Him will be forgiven & have eternal life in heaven.
Yes, we can only find fulfillment & true happiness in heaven & thru Christ alone.
Warhol looks like a muppet.
sad that Andy Warhol died the year after. edit: AND Basquiat died 3 years later
If they make a new basquiat kid cudi should absolutely play him. They look a lot alike
slippery people
The grandma with the white hair, who is she?????
kiyfe esdr 😂😂👍👍
I'd like to track down all the Basquiat naysayers of the 80's, 90's, even early 2000's and stick it in their faces. Jean is in the top 5 of shows every museum wants to have.
Kilian Mbappe
Errrrr sure.
Alot of ppl are negected in modern art idont know if its how made the paintings or what
The how and the who to the what now?
i just love such videos
Warhol used people man. And they in turn used him. Look at Edie Sedgwick
Rodion Romanovich what was the case with them
Warhol was the first to realise you can practically pull off a con, piggying back on art.
A great artworks
FEKKARU MATTAA is becoming bigger than Jesus in the art world. His work transcends all genres.
何て言ってるかは分からないけど、
BASQIAがやっぱり好きだ！
In present day times : who in this world 🌎 is this INTERESTING ????
nobody. everything is copy and paste now. not too many original artists like basquiat.
Andy looks in pain and very likely was
Their story is on Broadway now in New York at Mtc theater. The show will end by February 11/2023 in New York.
