Basquiat \\ Warhol



Jean Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol at The Factory at 860 Broadway on October 12 1982.

"I'd never seen Andy so close with anyone, and I'd never seen Jean so close with anyone – these guys really loved each other" – Jeffrey Deitch

Jean-Michel Basquiat "Dos Cabezas"
Gallerist Bruno Bischofberger claims that he was responsible for the pair’s proper introduction. “I took him(Andy)for lunch to be photographed for a portrait,”
“Jean-Michel did not want to stay for lunch… about an hour and something later, he arrived with this huge painting.”
The polaroid of Andy and Jean-Michel turned into “Dos Cabezas”- a masterpiece.
“Andy said to me, ‘Oh, I’m so jealous!’, and I said, ‘Why?’. He said, ‘He’s faster than me!'”


Warhol’s longtime studio assistant, Ronny Cutrone, remembers, “It was like some crazy-art world marriage and they were the odd couple. The relationship was symbiotic. Jean-Michel thought he needed Andy’s fame, and Andy thought he needed Jean-Michel’s new blood. Jean-Michel gave Andy a rebellious image again.”

Wooden Dolls by Alexander Girard (1952)



The Wooden Dolls by Alexander Girard are a large family of wooden figures representing human and animal characters. Girard designed them in 1953 for his own use as decorative objects in his Santa Fe home. These originals, which are part of the Girard estate in the holdings of the Vitra Design Museum, served as models for the current re-editions. Precisely replicated down to the last detail, the many different Wooden Dolls are still fabricated and painted by hand today, just like the vintage pieces by Alexander Girard. And even if the differences between them are only very slight: each wooden figure is a unique, individual product, truly one of a kind.


So cool I ❤️ 💕 💗

Barbarian days: a surfing life
by William Finnegan

Barbarian Days is an old-school adventure story, a social history, an extraordinary exploration of one man's gradual mastering of an exacting and little-understood art. It is a memoir of dangerous obsession and enchantment.


“Surfing always had this horizon, this fear line, that made it different from other things … Everything out there was disturbingly interlaced with everything else. Waves were the playing field. They were the goal. They were the object of your deepest desire and adoration. At the same time, they were your adversary, your nemesis, even your mortal enemy … The ocean was like an uncaring God, endlessly dangerous, power beyond measure.”

Amelie, (2001)
A beautiful comedy film

Joseph: You're gorgeous when you blush. Like a wild flower.
Georgette: It's my dyspepsia

Only a fool looks at a finger that points to the sky;

Without you, today's emotions would be the scurf of yesterday's;
