Basquiat and Banksy at the Hirshhorn
At an upcoming exhibition, the Smithsonian museum will display works by the two boundary-breaking artists for the first time will be on view at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden from Sept. 29, 2024 through Oct. 26, 2025.
Organized by the Hirshhorn, "Basquiat × Banksy" places Jean-Michel Basquiat’s “Boy and Dog in a Johnnypump” (1982) and Banksy’s response “Banksquiat. Boy and Dog in Stop and Search” (2018) in dialogue, revealing throughlines between street art, contemporary art, and the popular imagination. The exhibition includes 20 small works on paper and wood made by Basquiat between 1979 and 1985, which demonstrate his deep familiarity with art history, his use of language and his signature motifs, such as skulls and crowns.
"Basquiat × Banksy" marks the first time that artworks by either artist is presented at the nation’s museum of modern and contemporary art. Learn more: https://s.si.edu/3z6OKwx

In your answer to my yesterday's comment you said:" I keep learning amazing things!" Oh yes, you do, Jacki and the best thing is, that you take us along with you. I'm so grateful for this. As long as we stay interested and curious we will say young.
I didn't know anything about the Bajau People, but now I do, thanks to you, Jacki. Life is full of interesting stories worth exploring.
