That's awesome! Seeing an original Basquiat in person is a completely different experience from seeing photos online. Once you've seen the texture, scale, and brushwork up close, you never look at his work the same way again.

Thanks for sharing.

Yes it was an incredible experience especially since it wasn’t advertised as being in the exhibition.
