The exhibition, organized in collaboration with the Foundation Louis Vuitton, will include loans from Brant collections as well as international museums and other private collections.Brant said in a press release, “Basquiat has been a cornerstone of the East Village art scene for decades, and to bring his work back to the neighborhood that inspired it is a great privilege. Our family is thrilled to launch the Brant Foundation’s New York space with an artist who is central to the collection, and above all to share his legacy with the community that was fundamental in shaping it.”Basquiat lived and worked at 57 Great Jones St. near the Bowery at the time of his death in 1988 at age 27. Brant reportedly began acquiring Basquiat’s work shortly after being introduced to him by Andy Warhol in 1984. “Jean-Michel Basquiat is the quintessential Van Gogh figure of our time,” Brant said in a 2013 interview. “He left with us a genius body of work.”Brant bought the building — a former Con Edison substation and Walter de Maria studio — for $27 million in August 2014.After renovations, the building now features 7,000 square feet of exhibition space over four floors.Previously on EV Grieve:About that “giant-robot laboratory” on East Sixth StreetRIP Walter De MariaWhat is your East Village dream home?Walter De Maria’s ‘giant-robot laboratory’ going for $25 million; inside is amazing as you’d expectHere’s what Peter Brant wants to do with his new exhibition space on East 6th StreetWhen the world’s top collectors of Dom Pérignon rosé came to the East Village for dinnerReader report: 421 E. 6th St. will house Peter M.
