Arper’s collections Mixu, Steeve, Pix, Ply and Wim will outfit the exhibition space to recreate the original feeling of the Michael Todd VIP Room at the iconic nightclub Palladium, for which Jean-Michel created two paintings.
Arper is honored to have partnered with this exhibition, which highlights Basquiat’s contributions to the history of art and his explorations of multifaceted cultural phenomena––including music, the Black experience, pop culture, Black American sports figures, literature, and other sources.
