Broken art by Jean-Michel Basquiat.

Jean-Michel Basquiat, the most famous and expensive black artist. An American that no one loved. Since childhood, thanks to the origin of his parents, he knew 3 languages ​​and showed the ability to draw. He went the way from spending the night on a bench and abandoned construction sites to fame.

In the same period, he sells T-shirts with his drawings and postcards for 1 dollar. Once, when Jean-Michel saw an Andy Warhol in the restaurant, he suggested he buy several postcards. He agreed. A little later they began to make  art together and collaborated until the death of Warhol.

The interior was created a very long time ago, in 1991. And so he would have sunk into the paper press, if not the employees of AD magazine. They remembered about him and posted on the Internet. Together with the comments from the star itself.

Madonna and brother, who was also the designer of this apartment, created an art deco. Using furniture, paintings and photographs of those times. Cristopher G. Ciccone - her brother and designer name.
