To celebrate its new space, The Brant Foundation in New York City’s East Village neighborhood will launch a solo presentation of significant works by Jean-Michel Basquiat. Set inside a century-old building with a whopping 7,000 square feet of exhibition space across four floors, the exhibition will highlight large-scale paintings and other notable masterworks by the legendary artist. The show was organized in collaboration with the Fondation Louis Vuitton and curated by Peter M. Brant and Dr. Dieter Buchhart.

“Our family is thrilled to launch The Brant Foundation’s New York space with an artist who is central to the collection, and above all to share his legacy with the community that was fundamental in shaping it,” said Brant in a statement.

Secure tickets to the exhibition by visiting The Brant Foundation’s website. The show will be on view from March 6 until May 15.
