Part 1: • Jean-Michel Basquiat's...
--------
Lisane Basquiat and Jeanine Heriveaux continued to discuss the life and legacy of their brother, Jean-Michel Basquiat. They talked about how Jean-Michel struggled with fame. They recalled the shock they felt when he died from a heroin overdose on August 12, 1988, when he was just 27 and at the peak of his career. After his unexpected death, their father was integral in preserving his legacy, collecting his art and ensuring owed money was paid. He also led an authentication committee for Jean-Michel's pieces, closing it in 2012. Despite the monetary value of his art skyrocketing after his death, both sisters prioritize the preservation and integrity of their brother's legacy over monetary gain. One highlight they mentioned was Jean-Michel's painting being displayed in the White House during Obama's final Christmas as president.
Jean-Michel Basquiat: King Pleasure © is on view until January 1, 2024 in Los Angeles.

They’re nice ladies, and their honest.
I am starting to pick up on how protective JMB sisters are of how he, his works, and his legacy is described. It's obvious VLAD (and staff) did their homework, but these ladies ain't letting any discrepancy slide. LOL. If VLAD says it was on a Tuesday at 6pm, they say it was actually at 6:01pm.
These ladies are very pleasant. They aren't rude or arrogant. They are just very matter of fact.
How that makes rude or arrogant is beyond me.
This is a master class on how to handle Vlad. Much respect to these sistas 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Yesss
I don’t get some of these comments about the women being defensive or arrogant. The ladies are answering questions and or correcting statements that aren’t correct. What’s wrong with that. They’re fine people just hella sensitive.
Should they not be. Correct the damn story
Exactly 💯. This current society and generation is so over with.
I loved this interview and love the fact that the sisters saw the nuances in the questions and how the narrative can be perceived being on Vlad’s platform speaking on their brother n father’s relationship. Yes the father was a savy businessman but he was a father first who was going to make sure his son gets what is owed to him. I’m thankful to have witnessed this because we always hear stories about black creatives getting screwed over but Mr Basquait was not playing about his son. It’s clear the family have their own individual lives and endeavors but still committed to holding their brother’s legacy down. I come for a big family so I definitely understand the importance of community and family. Especially in Haitian culture, a person is nothing without community or family. As much as people lean into the individualistic approach of operating solo, isolation can be very detrimental and I believe that was what really cause him to delve deep into addiction. JMB needed to go at alone and experience life to become the artist he was meant to be but he also need his community and his family as he ascended to the top instead of ascending to isolation and addiction
!!!!
I love the way they light up at the end when discussing JM's works being in the White House
I enjoyed the Jean-Michel Basquiat: King Pleasure exhibition. I also purchased the book. While Basquiat's sisters offer a unique perspective to him, particularly his childhood, it's clear they weren't very close to him during his adulthood. I'm sure they kept in contact but everyone who spent time around him knew he was deep into a drug addiction for years so they weren't shocked when he died prematurely. Andy Warhol first mentioned Basquiat's drug use in his diary in 1983, the year they began collaborating. Madonna broke up with him around that time because of his heroin addiction. His girlfriend, Jennifer Goode, got herself and Basquiat into a methadone program in 1986. He quit after a few weeks so she broke up with him. I think Basquiat was brilliant and a visionary, but I can also acknowledge that he was erratic and self-destructive. Drug addiction is classified as a mental illness so he also suffered from mental health issues.
Sometimes the family is the last to know. Drug addicts have their own world and try to keep it to that world; your sister is the last person you want to find out. Also the normal signs that would give it away, such as hanging around with more eccentric, even seedy characters, not living a typical 9-5 life, hanging out in the streets, etc, is already something an artist lifestyle entails. I get your argument, and you may be correct, I don't know, but I feel like it is possible for his little sisters to be ignorant of his drug use. Also, since he had money he didn't have to ask his family for any or steal or sell his nice things, all typical signs that give away drug use.
They were young too. I'm sure he wasn't doing drugs around his middle school and high school aged sisters. He probably didn't go around them when he was high like that
I completely agree. I’ve watched practically every available interview from those who knew him and it’s evident that he had some some struggles of mental health and self medicating and or drug use. R.I.P to a legend and salute to the sisters for continuing the legacy. Hopefully we can discuss these issues more in details to combat these issues
@@jcarter5521 Through there body language, I don't even think they knew there brother that well.
@@Ellie5621 Oh! I see. You know I just think after watching the interview and reading comments. That this is just not a good interview, There's a lot missing. I thought they where being arrogant. But I think they was frustrated with the questions because they wish they knew the answers but they didn't ... Thanks Ellie5621 you got me looking at the interview different now.
Right on, Lisane! Set that record straight.
His painting of "Riding with Death" (a exposed visceral man riding a skelton in a sparse earthtone landscape), is very eerie and prophetic much like 2Pac & Biggie premeditated death songs.
Yo Vlad this is dope how your doing it like a documentary
As pleasant as these women are its kinda underwhelming how defensive they are when askes certain questions. But i do understand they are probably still affected by his death so they dont wanna express too much
I agree, I can see a lot of arrogance in them. It's hard for me to watch! It's funny how people think they are special, One of a kind🤔
@@FukemStudioslmao y’all are so fragile.
You sound stupid. Defensive? FOH
@@FukemStudiosI thought I was the only one smh
It's not arrogance, it's a black man's legacy that can be destroyed by the powers that be. Heroin addiction can be put on the dead and the world will believe it, which can damage the brand. So let's not speak on that no matter how much fans want to know about it. I think the interview went left after that, time to cut it short before Vlad tried to do more damage. These are very positive people and Vlad have only negativity to ask
"We all smoke weed, I smoke weed" Done
Vlad gets his information from google then thinks he knows more than the actual family members
They basquiat sisters have GLAD shook. GLAD is nervous and intimidated by the sisters. He knows he cannot pull one over them. The sisters mean business when protecting their brother’s legacy. Good for them.
Nothing scarier than Black women who mean business. Put the fear of God in Vlad.
All due respect! But for me the Basquiat sisters are messing up there brothers legacy with there arrogance. All I see is arrogance!
@@FukemStudios just say you don’t like Black people. Nobody is more arrogant than Vlad.
He's been shook since he got politely checked the first time 😅
All I see is two identical spelling errors in one sentence. What the hell you know about defending a legacy and you don't even know your they're, their, and theres yet? 🤣 @@FukemStudios
I like these women. This is the product of great parenting
The intro super dope long live 🕊️Jean michel
Hey Vlad 27 isn't "mid 20s" it's late 20s
it's mid 20's weirdo you such a hater you want him to be specific this type of hating getting you paid 😂
Vlad, hire me immediately. I will teach you the essence of tone,pace, and wording when dealing with urban audiences and interviewees. You have the voice already, allow me to help curate the cadence.
Vlad is disrespectful. He don’t care
Brother if you have all that then start your own thing and us your people will support you
@@jaiiskii2262😂😂😂😂
All for views. He knows what he is doing. I have no doubt he purposely does so to get a rise out of the person. In hopes of a viral moment.
Respect to his dad. He had his sons back even in after death. A blueprint for what every family should do for a lost loved one.
Def going to to see paintings before it leaves LA
It's almost improper to call it the most expensive work if the person who bought it set that price himself via auction, more like highly sought after
1:45 an even scarier word is Fentanyl nowadays....😮
Well spoken women
Sad 😔
It would be really hard not to tell if someone had a heroin addiction but I guess it was also a different time
I kinda feel like Basquiat hasn’t got the recognition he truly deserves. I can’t think of any other African American artists who had an impact that comes anywhere near his. When I say artist I mean painter. Hopefully one day he can be given just as much recognition as 2pac because not very many young people know who he is and I believe he doesn’t get anywhere near the credit he deserves.
He was Afro-Caribbean/ Hispanic.
We don't support each other. Hate to say it.
His work has been some of the most expensive pieces ever sold by an American artist. So he definitely has gotten recognition in the Art world. But to compare him Tupac is just a different level of exposure is all.
@@midwestmike613 facts! Just have to enlighten
Their reaponses are very terse and laconic , they are very economical embassadors of the information they divulge
Hollyweird killed that man. He saw a lot of shit they do and put it in his paintings
incoming Vlad haters
Facts
Aww he overdosed .. rest in peace young man ❤️🙏
I know they're trying to protect her brothers image. But with that being said they don't need to to do interviews with ppl that want details of the good and the bad.
That 27 club is plus or minus 2 every time
Shawn prez should have done this interview
Asking how it felt to hear that your brother died is a ridiculously insensitive question. At this pointed Vlad's interviewing skills should be better. Have better questions. And I didn’t see anything wrong with how the sisters corrected Vlad. If you're wrong, then you're wrong 🤷🏽♀️
They have no problem correcting Vlad it’s almost cringy.
Super defensive
It's their brother legacy they have every right to correct him
If he has the details wrong then why not correct him? That is the point of the interview. Vlad does not hold all the answers.
Its more cringe that we only on part 3 and we already talking about his death. Imagine watching a documentary on martin luther king jr and 20 minutes into the documentary its already talking about his death. I appreciate the presentation here but damn you would think this man got famous off one painting and then he died.
Its not cringy. I would expect my sisters to protect my legacy with facts if I passed to.
Intelligent black women!
We all do not smoke weed!
❤

I DONT believe he had any addiction. I don’t believe anything bad about him unless it came out of his mouth Even about a Will because the entire system lies from the doctors to the lawyers to the entertainers
U wouldn't be surprised is jay z bought out all this dudes painting and put his name on them...😂😂😂
Very classy ladies
The dad didn’t support jeans Career but authenticated his work 🤣. When trying to be clandestine goes wrong
They really start lying when they look at each other 😩
I noticed that too, when they looked at each other I was like hmm. That's sounds like she did know he was doing drugs.

Anybody else realize that.... Basquiat is ALLEGEDLY JAY--Zs "muse" and his sister shares TUPAC 's lega firstl name (Lesane Crooks ...iykyk) ...Just an observation.
He didn’t have one! They got to him, I bet!
The father did what he was supposed to do and the sisters are doing the same.
Thats definitely his sister on the right
DJ Vlad is trying to ruin a person's career because a professor told you that the Kendrick vs. Drake beef is not your business. No discord with the person, Just an I'm going to get you fired. # Not Like Us.
How stupid can some comment era be. Where they supposed to bash him?
Vlad, more of this less young rappers, porn stars, criminals........................
He was only 28 its sad he died so young on top of his game
basquiat painting weren't that great to me they look like doodles it doesn't really show talent. Picasso, da Vinci, Van Gogh Paul Gauguin their works look like something you could never duplicate basquiat art look like a kid did it
@@HakeemTheLean I just don’t get “the art world” in general, people pay 500k for a banana duct-taped to a wall 😂
@@HakeemTheLean he was a graffiti artist not a painter
*27
@@TheBulletzgottishow20 even still have you seen Banksy graffiti work or lady pink. I love art i know it's self expression but basquiat art has no range to it nothing stands out other than tryna figure out what the hell it is.
Hahahaha Who?
2nd comment Long Live The King
They seemed put off and selfish at Vlad bragging on their brother. I would think they would be happy, proud and grateful to be the sisters of a prominent BLACK ARTIST because our Art doesn’t have the same recognition as a WHITE ARTIST!!
Modern "ART" is the biggest SCAM since.....GEORGE SANTOS! (SMFH)
Now jayz biting this guy 😂😅 🤡 nothing original
We already had blacc presidents before Obama smfh
Why are they so defensive? I can't watch this they are so arrogant 😂😂😂wtf too serious.
see better painters in highschool 😂, wtf
Shut up
Let’s see some of your work then
Wheres YOUR! art work at for show n tell my dude.........😅.....................................CRICCETS
Vlad has the best guests PERIOD
