EXHIBITION: JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT AT GAGOSIAN
Gagosian is pleased to announce Venus, a pairing of two rarely seen masterpieces from different millennia: Untitled (1982), a significant painting from Jean-Michel Basquiat’s acclaimed Modena series, is shown in dialogue with an Imperial Roman sculpture of the goddess Venus loaned from the Torlonia Collection in Rome, the world’s largest private collection of Roman art. This is Gagosian’s eleventh exhibition dedicated to Basquiat and demonstrates the gallery’s ongoing commitment to the artist’s legacy.
Art is how we decorate space, music is how we decorate time.
-Jean-Michel Basquiat
On view till December 20 at Gagosian, 9 rue de Castigione, 75001 Paris.
