Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960, Brooklyn – 1988, New York) established himself within a few years as one of the major voices of the 1980s New York scene, before being recognized as one of the most important artists of the second half of the 20th century. Steeped from childhood in regular visits to New York’s museums, he knew the history of modern art intimately and deliberately placed his work within it, in the wake of Picasso, the Surrealists and Cy Twombly. Copied and crossed-out words, figures and signs make up an erudite painting of rare intensity. Enrico Navarra, who acquired his first works as early as 1987, published the most comprehensive book devoted to his paintings and, from the early 1990s on, produced more than forty exhibitions and catalogues for museums and galleries.
Artemis Baltoyanni and Doriano Navarra are pleased to present the exhibition of the artist Jean-Michel Basquiat: Untitled at The Intermission Gallery from May 22 to August 2, 2025
From September 7 to November 19, 2022, Galerie Gradiva, in collaboration with Galerie Bernard Dulon and Galerie Enrico Navarra, presents an unprecedented aesthetic experiment under the exhibition title “Résonance, Jean-Michel Basquiat et l’Univers Kongo”. In its space at 9 quai Voltaire, the gallery invites visitors to let themselves be guided by emotion as they encounter the formal dialogue it creates between drawings by Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-1988) and powerful nkisi nkonde power figures from the Kongo cultural sphere, on loan from the Royal Museum for Central Africa in Tervuren. The exhibition offers a deep immersion into the works and their soul.
