Basquiat’s homage, created in 1983, goes on show—and is more topical than ever. By Anny Shaw

n September 1983, deeply shaken by the fatal beating of his friend and fellow street artist Michael Stewart while under arrest, Jean- Michel Basquiat went to Keith Haring’s studio at 600 Broadway and scrawled his reaction directly onto the wall. The painting, which Haring named Defacement (The Death of IMichael Stewart), depicts two ruddy-faced NYPD offi cers wielding bright orange batons in the face of a black fi gure. “At the time, Basquiat said ‘it could have been me’. Michael’s death was so traumatic he felt paralysed by it,” says the activist and writer Chaédria LaBouvier, who has organised an exhibition dedicated solely to Defacement at her alma mater, Williams College in Massachusetts (until 29 January). “Basquiat’s last live-in girlfriend Kelle Inman said that Defacement was a painting that really touched him. They were still talking about Michael Stewart fi ve years after his death.” There has been little scholarly research on Defacement, largely because it has only been exhibited twice before: in 2001 and again in 2014-15. It is currently on show in The artist’s Defacement (The Death of Michael Stewart) (1983) is a tribute to his friend and fellow artist, who died while under arrest the recently refurbished reading room at Williams College Museum of Art (WCMA) and is the subject of a new course being taught at the liberal arts university by LaBouvier in January. “There’s a dearth of scholarship on Basquiat in general; his work didn’t BASQUIAT fi t comfortably into the categories that were created for American art in the early 1980s,” says Jordana Moore Saggese, a professor of visual studies at California College of the Arts who spoke at a symposium about Defacement on 10 November. “Around 90% of his works are versus the NYPD in private collections, which also makes research diffi cult.” Another personal collection of around 30 works, created by Basquiat between 1979 and 1981 in Nina. Despite the age gap, she was a close the Manhattan apartment of his friend friend of the New York artist and still owns Lonny Lichtenberg, are on show at Miami’s the work today. “Keith specifi cally left it to satellite fair, X Contemporary, for the fi rst Nina; he thought she would know what to time. Meanwhile, there are plenty of works do with it,” LaBouvier says. “Nina grew up by Basquiat on show at Art Basel in Miami looking at this painting every day.” Beach at galleries including Van de Weghe, LaBouvier also grew up with Basquiat’s Gagosian and Helly Nahmad, who sold one work: her parents were not wealthy painting for $15m this week. collectors, but kept three of his drawings in the family home. She has been researching “We’re in this together” the artist’s life and work since she was Defacement has always been kept in an 19. The current project, however, is intimate environment.
