ABOUT THE ART
Jean-Michel Basquiat, Untitled (New York New Wave), 1980
To convey the energy of the downtown countercultural New York scene in 1980, Diego Cortez created the 'New York/New Wave' exhibition. He curated over 600 works by more than 100 emerging and celebrated artists including Jean-Michel Basquiat, Andy Warhol, Robert Mapplethorpe and Nan Goldin.
Cortez invited Basquiat, who was just 20 years old at the time, to exhibit several pieces in the show which is often credited as being one of the launch points in Jean-Michel’s career. Basquiat made 'Untitled (New York New Wave)' as a sign for the show that hung in the corridor close to the exhibition entrance.
