Superbly curated exhibition of the families art. Great space and very comfortable. This really does give you the artist and the man in a way that’s honest and true to the family.

A well-designed exhibit of works from the Basquiat family estate. A highlight is the re-creation of his studio space with many original works and personal effects, enhanced by a soundtrack of music he listened to while painting. The show is well laid out with perfect lighting. The ending is a wow: a re-creation of a nightclub with large-scale works by Basquiat. I especially enjoyed the videos of family members and colleagues reminiscing about him. The gift shop at the end is great, but the prices are pretty high. Highly recommend attending this show before it's over!
