In support of the Jean-Michel Basquiat: King Pleasure© exhibit in New York, the Citi Bike® bike share system has rolled out limited edition bicycles featuring the artist’s iconic work.
Few artists exemplify the opportunity and free thinking of New York City quite like Jean-Michel Basquiat, a true native son — Brooklyn born and bred.
During his short life, New York’s endless diversity and vitality served as both an inspiration for Basquiat’s work and an urban playground when that work brought him fame. This theme is explored throughout the current exhibit co-created by the artist’s sisters Lisane Basquiat and Jeanine Heriveaux.
