"'The painting reflects both Basquiat's engagement with the Italian Renaissance tradition of anatomical investigation and his experience of being received, celebrated, and scrutinized by European art institutions and even history,' Sirmans writes in a catalogue essay for the show."
"'Basquiat: Figures, Signs, Symbols' is described as 'a rare gathering of Jean-Michel Basquiat's most iconic works ... together in Miami for the first time, generously loaned from the Kenneth C. Griffin Collection.'"
Ken Griffin's collection of Jean-Michel Basquiat paintings includes 'In Italian,' previously owned by Peter Brant. This painting will be featured in the upcoming exhibition 'Basquiat: Figures, Signs, Symbols' at the Pérez Art Museum Miami. The exhibition opens on June 25 and showcases nearly a dozen iconic works from Griffin's collection. The show is curated by Franklin Sirmans and Megan Kincaid. 'In Italian' reflects Basquiat's connection to the Italian Renaissance and his experiences with European art institutions.
