I realized that in the "who is Basquiat?" section, it was mentioned that he went to Africa several times, when in fact he only went there once in 1986 with Jennifer Goode, one of his many girlfriends. He had a show there in Abidjan, at the French Cultural Institute. This trip was his first and his last trip to Africa.

And why is it that none of his many girlfriends are ever mentioned?

I also want to point out that Basquiat never visited the Brooklyn Musuem.
He was constantly in the MoMA and hated going anywhere else.

Just wanted to prove some points and share my knowledge.

by the way, I am 16 years old, and a working artist myself.

I worry about the commodification of a street artist's work, esp. the Reebok (TM) sneakers that are featured downstairs, scrawled with a Basquiat-like logo -- didn't anyone in the supposedly "liberal" art world here in Houston stop to think that this would be going against some of the most important messages that Jean Michel's work brings to us? Why would you want to connect his art with a sneaker corporation that uses exploited brown hands in Third World countries to make a product for gluttonous U.S. consumers? Check out the painting called "Obnoxious Liberals," and you will see what I am talking about.

For some reason, this piece of artwork connected me to the people that want equality and justice. It showed me that people deserve the same thing as everyone else. No one should be mistreated or judged by their looks. This artwork was not only inspiring but it is connected to the real world.

I thought negroe policemen was the most intriging of all the paintings. It just goes to show what we as a race has gone through. I really enjoyed this exhibit. I never heard og Basquiat before but now I hope to learn more about him
