Self (Art Dealer)
This film tells Jean-Michel's story through exclusive interviews with his two sisters Lisane and Jeanine, who have never before agreed to be interviewed for a TV documentary. With striking candour, Basquiat's art dealers - including Larry Gagosian, Mary Boone and Bruno Bischofberger - as well as his most intimate friends, lovers and fellow artists, expose the cash, the drugs and the pernicious racism which Basquiat confronted on a daily basis. As historical tableaux, visual diaries of defiance or surfaces covered with hidden meanings, Basquiat's art remains the beating heart of this story.

Himself
Bouncing between Europe and the United States as often as she would between lovers, Peggy Guggenheim’s life was as swirling as the design of her uncle’s museum, and reads more like fiction than any reality imaginable. Peggy Guggenheim – Art Addict offers a rare look into Guggenheim’s world: blending the abstract, the colorful, the surreal and the salacious, to portray a life that was as complex and unpredictable as the artwork Peggy revered and the artists she pushed forward.
Self
Режиссер Тамра Дэвис не только воздает должное своему другу в этом документальном фильме, но также представляет его как иконоборца. Его неоэкспрессионистская живопись появилась в то время когда в моде были минимализм и концептуальное искусство. Как успешный черный художник, он постоянно сталкивался с расизмом и провокациями. Многое можно почерпнуть из архивных материалов и интервью, в том числе с самим Баскья.
