Paris is about to witness the ultimate fusion of music and art. Jay-Z will be honoring the legacies of Basquiat and Warhol at the Louis Vuitton concert, during the 'Basquiat x Warhol. Painting four hands' exhibit. JayZ Basquiat Warhol LouisVuitton
The new exhibition, which kicked off on April 5 and will run until August 28, features roughly 160 collaborative paintings that Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat created together between 1984 and 1985. Also on display are individual paintings by each of the artists, and pieces by Keith Haring, Jenny Holzer, Michael Halsband, Futura 2000, and Kenny Scharf.
Over the years, the Roc Nation founder has continuously shouted out both Warhol and Basquiat in his lyrics. In “Picasso Baby” off thealbum, Jay-Z raps, “I’m the new Jean-Michel. Surrounded by Warhols, my whole team balls.” He also name-dropped Jeff Koons, Mark Rothko, and George Condo on the same track. In 2009, he wrote “I’m a work of art, I’m a Warhol already” in his verse for “Already Home” with Kid Cudi. Honestly, the entire list of references is as fascinating as it is long.
