August 12, 1988. Rest In Peace Jean Michel Basquiat. Its been 31 years since you left us. If you were still here you’d see how much of an impact you have on today’s society. We’re living in a modern day renaissance and everyone is running around trying to be you, it’s crazy. I’ve been going to visit you in Brooklyn every year since 2005 and I’ll see you later. It’s your turn to light up. #jeanmichelbasquiat #basquiat #neoexpressionist #rip #artworld #nycartist #GianniVersace
