Lot Essay

'I'm an artist who has been influenced by his New York environment. But I have a cultural memory. I dont need to look for it; it exists, it's over there, in Africa. That doesn't mean that I have to go live there. Our cultural memory follows us everywhere, wherever you live' (J.-M. Basquiat interview with D. Davvetas, New Art International, no. 3, October-November 1988).
