What must the Tate bring done to ensure they didn't larn this exhibition? The possible explanation lies inward the total of music which is beingness played inward association with this exhibition.... Basquiat: Boom for Real also focuses on the artist’s human relationship to music, writing, performance, cinema as well as television, placing him inside the wider cultural context of the time.
