“Jean-Michel has inspired so many visual artists working in different media, not just painters. And that influence extends beyond fine art: We are now beginning to see the impact that Jean-Michel has had on popular culture- music, food, fashion. Our family is celebrating his influence on creative expression across so many fields and industries. I want to celebrate the way he lived, and his dedication to listening to what was inside of him. His is a very powerful and inspirational story.” – Lisane Basquiat
