Synopsis

[edit]

Nearly 30 years after his premature death, one of Jean-Michel Basquiat's Skull paintings from 1982 sold at Sotheby's for the record-breaking sum of $110 million. Basquiat: Rage to Riches details how the self-taught Brooklyn-born artist rose to success in the international art marketplace. In addition to interviews with Basquiat's art dealers and associates, the film features exclusive interviews with his two sisters, Lisane Basquiat and Jeanine Basquiat, who have never before spoken about their brother or his art for a documentary.[4]
