really liked it

"Talk about the problems of being a successful artist in New York."
"The problems? Specifically which ones...the ones I bring upon myself, or the ones that are brought upon me?" Basquiat interview with Anthony Haden-Guest quoted in this book.

This was a quick enjoyable read about dealers, the market and a one artist in the 80s. Very interesting but not a linear biography. I preferred this to a more traditional biography anyhow.
