📸 William Coupon

Jean Michel Basquiat ‘Still Kicking’ in the gloom of a London winter at twilight’ last gleamings. One of the best artifsct I’ve ever possessed, sometimes an object possesses the owner so I put it on the front cover of my latest, rather good, catalogue of material from Julio Mario Santo Domingo’s LSD Library. The photo was taken by William Coupon, a great US portrait photographer, and is a monochrome Polaroid substantially altered by the sitter who has scratched and rumpled it, in a Baconian fashion. It came from Basquiat’s last love Kelle Inman into the trade. The full description awaiting your reading and comments in the profile link as #1. #jeanmichelbasquiat #williamcoupon #nellsbar #downtownscene #graffiti #streetart #popart #andywarhol #juliomariosantodomingo #juliomariosantodomingojr #lsdlibrary #kelleinman https://www.instagram.com/p/BsdcNvoFYG5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=spvc0pyzu6ep

#jeanmichelbasquiat by #williamcoupon photographer in turn by me. I used this as the basis for my current catalogue #stillkicking . The scratches and creasing were done by the subject / the photo came from his last partner #kelleinman . He died shortly after this. Bought from the #lsdlibrary collection by me and offered out again. https://www.instagram.com/p/BrROCi1FZtrgP_QAVYBc5gwJhQUcXXLYAAouF00/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=n7b3itpqldjd

Very excited about coming up Europe shows. Looking forward to collaborate with amazing friends. Hanging with #EbonyBones and #WilliamCoupon front of his #MileDavis portrait. (at Frieze Randall's Island)
