The Slave Who Loved Caviar

Beschreibung

"The greatest and most fearless living writer turns his unerring eye to the art world and the fraught relationship between Jean-Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol. The relationship between Warhol and Basquiat is already one of the most iconic, intensely analyzed partnerships in the history of art. Ishmael Reed brings the same unsparing, deeply researched perspective as he did for the Archway Editions bestseller The Haunting of Lin-Manuel Miranda, for a captivating, illuminating final word on the famous duo. Already the subject of controversy during its original 2021-2022 run at the Theater for the New City in the East Village, Archway Editions is proud to bring you the unabridged text of The Slave Who Loved Caviar, Reed's latest feat of research and drama, the tragedy as disturbingly real for today's artists as it was in the 1980's"--
