Ten masterworks by Jean-Michel Basquiat from the Kenneth C. Griffin Collection form the largest presentation of the artist’s work in Florida to date. In a brief yet remarkably prolific career, Basquiat drew on world history, Renaissance anatomical studies, and the clubs and vernacular culture of 1980s New York — hip-hop, punk, fashion, and film — fusing the visual vocabulary of his time with his own heritage as the child of a Puerto Rican mother and Haitian father.
