Reviews
I wanted to read this book when it came out in hardback. By the time I got around to ordering it on amazon the price was way beyond my budget. Now, years later, I finally read it. Worth the wait. That said, where will Schnabel's reputation be in 50 years? Of course we will both be gone, but will his reputation and artwork survive?His film work, to me, is far more impressive than his broken plates and lines drawn on a canvas. I did see his latest broken plate exhibition at Pace Gallery a couple of years ago and was deeply moved by the artwork, creativity and beautiful use of colors. Pace is tiny compared to MoMa or The Whitney, so you can get up-close-and-personal with the paintings. I found the top of a sugar dish on one of the paintings and was tickled by my discovery. If I had won the Lottery that weekend I would have bought it. Very Monet Lillies in broken crockery.I enjoyed reading about his very early years in NYC and how he lived pretty much hand-to-mouth for a long time. He definitely depended on the kindness of strangers.He is one of these artists who was born to be wealthy and famous. Larger than life, with a head full of 'spin', how could he lose? His wives have been foreign beauties, his children creative and attractive. He lives in a palazzo in Manhattan (pink) and is seen at all the hottest art parties. Basquiat is not only one of my favorite films, an entire wall in my living room is devoted to it. Stills from the film, the larger Basquiat poster, photos of the real artist along with some of his work. Everyone who walks into the room turns and makes a comment about how fab it all looks on the wall. Plumbers stop and stare, ask who it is, how come they don't know him. "Who IS this Bask-quate anyway?!" Thank you Mr. Schnabel.He is still relatively young by art world standards, and has time to create new and fascinating works. I'd like to see him get into sculpture on a grand scale. I would also like to see him direct a film about artists Carl Andre and his long-suffering Cuban wife, Ana. No one has told that story in film and Schnabel would do a masterful job.
