8. SoHo
After living at 68 East 1st Street for just a year, Basquiat and Mallouk moved to 151 Crosby Street. While living at the SoHo apartment, he put on his first solo U.S. exhibition at Annina Nosei’s gallery, including Untitled and Crowns (Peso Neto). Basquiat also displayed a number of his most famous paintings out in Long Angeles at the Larry Gagosian Gallery. After Bruno Bischofberger became his primary dealer, Basquiat entered the international scene as the youngest artist at documenta in Kassel, Germany, displaying paintings alongside Andy Warhol and Anselm Kiefer.
Warhol worked closely with Basquiat in the early 1980s, and Basquiat would often frequent Warhol’s Factory for photo sessions or art talks. Warhol and Basquiat collaborated on about 200 works, 16 of which were shown at the Tony Shafrazi Gallery. But Basquiat became more accepted into the wealthy society of SoHo, displaying artwokrs at major SoHo galleries including the Mary Boone Gallery in 1984. And while at the SoHo home, he produced paintings including Charles the First, Jawbone of an Ass, and Three Quarters of Olympia Minus the Servant,
