​Now's the time  -  Jean-Michel Basquiat

​
​It is on the ante mortem decade (1980-1988) that the exhibition focuses: a time when Basquiat takes a liking for the aesthetic qualities of graphics, letters and signs. This is what will be remembered in his short career: paintings marked by a strong sense of sophistication and avant-garde. 
​A hundred of pieces are on display to discover his universe, such as the famous Heads series from 1981-1982 or his works made in collaboration with Andy Warhol.
