A Jean-Michel Basquiat documentary is on the way.  The world is about to get more insight into one of the most unique talents ever.  The new film titled ‘King Pleasure’ will further explore the life of the graffiti writer turned abstract artist. Quinn Wilson, former Creative Director for Lizzo, is teaming up with Boardwalk Pictures (Val, Where’s My Jet?) to curate the project.  The estate has also signed off on the project and will grant full access to their archives which include original art pieces, sketches, personal items, interviews, visuals and never seen before home movies. At this time there is no release date for the documentary film.  Will you be watching the Jean-Michel Basquiat documentary
