Further Details
“Jean-Michel showed us the drawings that he was working on. There was no drawing table and no neat stack of finished work. The drawings were scattered all over the floor, walked on like they were part of the linoleum. … There did not seem to be any separation between life and art. Jean-Michel drew constantly, on the street and wherever he was staying. … From the beginning of his career, he was already the center of attention” - Jeffrey Deitch (J. Deitch, quoted in Jean-Michel Basquiat: 1981, the Studio of the Street, New York, 2005, p. 10.)
