rene hasn't stopped talking about your paintings. haven't i seen you in my gallery?
you haven't been by lately.
how do you come up with all those words you put over everything?
i'd love to see some more of your work.  where's your studio?
well, i don't want to get mugged on a bowery street corner. maybe i could find a place for you to work. take my card.
no thanks. but i'd like one of these paintings.
annina nosei.
is jean michel here?
i'm here to see some work.
these are great.
how much for these five?
um.  do rene and jean have a contract together?
i'm interested in showing jean's work.
how about right now?
i've got to find the switch.
here it is.
tom and cynthia kruger.
this is jean michel basquiat. you've seen the samo graffiti everywhere. that's his. this is the true voice of the gutter.
here's a very good example of his recent work that's not spoken for yet. he's got to work in a basement. he's got so much energy that if he worked in a place with a window, he'd jump right through it. most of these are reserved already. after this week, this work will not be available.
yes, well, they are more meaningful in their absence, no?
jean, your parents are here.
you must be very proud.
it's great that people are interested, but if anyone's going to buy anything, i'll handle it for you. everything goes through the gallery, even if they come to your studio.
