Gagosian is pleased to announce Made on Market Street, the first exhibition focused exclusively on works that Jean-Michel Basquiat produced in Los Angeles. Curated by Fred Hoffman with Larry Gagosian, the exhibition will be on view from March 7 to June 1, 2024. With exhibition design by Stefan Beckman, Made on Market Street features loans from the Estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat; Nicola Erni Collection, Steinhausen, Switzerland; the Broad Art Foundation, Los Angeles; Museum Brandhorst, Munich; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; and other public and private collections.
Between November 1982 and May 1984, Basquiat produced approximately a hundred paintings, numerous works on paper, and six silkscreen editions in Venice, California. For an artist closely affiliated with the New York art scene of the 1980s, Basquiat was extraordinarily prolific in Los Angeles. Made on Market Street reflects on this consequential era by bringing together nearly thirty works-several of which are among his most important paintings. Larry Gagosian notes, “Los Angeles has always been a great city for artists and Jean-Michel seemed to find it a refreshing change from New York. While the immensity of his talent was immediately apparent, it was nonetheless a highlight of my own career to work with him, to introduce him to Los Angeles, and to witness the amazing impact that his art and legacy have made on our culture.”
After first meeting Basquiat in 1981, Gagosian invited him to Los Angeles. Basquiat’s solo exhibition with Larry Gagosian Gallery in LA-the first time his work was presented on the West Coast-opened in April 1982, immediately following his first solo show in New York at Annina Nosei’s gallery. The Los Angeles exhibition was seen as the arrival of a significant voice by the public and collectors alike. In November 1982 Basquiat returned to California, living and working at Gagosian’s residence on Market Street, a three-story structure with an interior courtyard open to the light and air from the beach nearby.

I first found Jean-Michel's work via a BBC documentary in the early 90's. It's rawness and honesty blew my mind, it felt fresh and unrestricted. I said to myself, i'm going to own a piece of his work one day. I had no clue of the monetary value of his work , I just loved the work. Thanks for sharing.
Great comment. I absolutely love Jean Michel’s work. Still is relevant today.
Thanks so much for your comment. Yes, we know the feeling when you just fell in love with the artworks. Thanks for sharing your story.
Basquiat fan here so I appreciate this video. Also I appreciate the fact that you emphasize the artwork and do not feel the need to provide a soundtrack.
Wa are so glad to hear this from you, and that you are Jean-Michel's fan, we are too. Thanks for the comment about our video, we appreciate it.
Basquiat is the one of the GOATs. Thank you!
Thank you for allowing those of us eons away to experience this amazing display.
it's our pleasure
BEAUTIFUL
His work is thought provoking 😮
we agree
Oh my God...
Were these all originals? 🤯
Weak signals of the collapse of the West to come when we see this exhibition whose only merit is to satisfy the temple merchants by maintaining the prices of a minor artist whose great "merit" is to have died young.
What a sad little nobody you are.
Basquiat es 99.0% publicidad y 00.1 mal pintor.
Underwhelming
Beavis or Butthead
art for the insane! A bunch of crap, not art!
Art is what nobody else is doing... and Basquiat did that! He was perhaps tormented and troubled by American culture and society, which he accurately portrayed as the persecutor... It's sad that he felt driven to expose this but you precisely don't like it...I'm sure it touches a nerve on many spectators...I didn't think it was art initially...but it is robustly profound and incredibly mind provoking art...yes it is art! Van Gogh was tormented, and they said his paintings weren't art back at the time... History keeps recording, and the test of time will be here when we're gone... Yeah, his art will stick around...
So an old man standing by his wife with a pitch fork is🤷🏾.. or maybe a painting of a white lady from 1800's day dreaming is more likeable?
You truly don’t know ART!!!
@@Blue-md7qe art for the insane! A bunch of crap, not art!
Dunno. Most of his art is certainly crap/rubbish/garbage/basura, though...to be honest, i like 3 or 4 of his paintings. Out of around 800 or 900. It seems to me that Basquiat painted in a hurry, to make $$$ more quickly.
Gagosian. The Satan of the art world.
Strong
I'm an amateur artist and honestly to me this are just !!! the equivalent of the music from the backstreet boys made in the 90's, just for the sake of selling something just like Andy Warhol to me is just plain plagiarism, nothing original about it. Looks more like the LGBT community helping their own people to make a name. Honest opinion, no disrespect.
Love this. 🥲 ❤
Are the exhibition posters available to buy? xx 😬
