**Honoring Jean-Michel Basquiat, his late father Gerard Basquiat, Jean-Michel’s surviving sisters Lisane and Jeanine Basquiat, and his step-mother, Nora Fitzpatrick. We honor the Basquiat Estate for maintaining and enhancing his legacy and for making his art more accessible to vast audiences throughout the world. Jean-Michel’s focus on social issues remains as relevant today as it was during the turbulent 1970s and ’80s.
