I recently saw the ‘Boom for Real’ show at the Barbican, showcasing the work of Jean-Michel Basquiat, the pioneering prodigy of the 1980s downtown New York art scene. It. Is. Stunning. The first major retrospective of Basquiat’s work; featuring film, art, photography and rare pieces, this show captures the spirit of this self-taught artist, poet, DJ and musician who died, aged 27, in 1988. The show runs until end of January – you should go.
