A cute little story from L Mag. on an event earlier this
month at the nearby Greenwood Cemetery (I can see it from my window now), where Jean-Michel Basquiat is
buried. The excellent documentary Jean-Michel
Basquiat: The Radiant Child was shown at
the Greenwood's Chapel, and Michael Holman (friend and co-founder with with Jean-Michel of the band Gray ) and the always lovely Suzanne Mallouk were
there to answer questions. Afterward the crowd rode through the beautiful wooded
cemetery, the highest point in Brooklyn, to visit Basquiat’s small, undiscerning grave, as usual decorated with mementos by visitors. See the full story, and pictures, here:
