Andy Warhol + Jean-Michel Basquiat, New York City, July 10

This gelatin silver print captures a candid moment between two of the most influential artists of the late twentieth century, documenting the creative dialogue between Pop art pioneer Andy Warhol and neo-expressionist Jean-Michel Basquiat in New York City. Photographer Michael Halsband's work preserves an intimate glimpse of these artists during a period when they were actively collaborating and influencing each other's artistic practices. The photograph, printed nearly a decade after the July 1985 encounter, serves as a poignant historical document of a pivotal moment in contemporary art history.
