Jean-Michel Basquiat retrospective exhibition

The Fondation Beyeler in Basel will host a retrospective of Jean-Michel Basquiat's most iconic works until September 5.

The show has been created in order to celebrate the 50th birthday of the late artist, which would have taken place on August 12, and will feature over 100 of the New York artist's neo-expressionist paintings.

Basquiat remains one of the most famous painters of all time despite dying at such a young age and this impressive collection of works show why he was so phenomenally successful during his short career.
