Further Details
"In many ways, Basquiat felt most at ease when working on paper…In his inquisitiveness Basquiat was also quite restless. And he was young! The point is that for someone as driven as he was, working on paper enabled him to create while equally fulfilling his need to explore." - Fred Hoffman (F. Hoffman, Jean Michel Basquiat Drawing - Work from the Schorr Family Collection, exh cat., New York, Acquavella Galleries, 2014, p. 34.)
