Warhol, Basquiat, Clemente - Ménage à trois - Bundeskunsthalle - Bonn



through May 20th 2012

The New York art scene of the 1980s is the stuff of legend. Buoyant and creative, it was open to all kinds of new media and offered young talents a spectacular arena of opportunity. Graffiti artists took art to the streets, others brought the everyday into their studios. The quest for innovation meant that all traditions were up for grabs and relentlessly questioned. Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Francesco Clemente – three of the main protagonists of the time – are presented in this major exhibition. At the heart of the show are the collaborative works by the three artists.
