Originally known as the street artist SAMO Basquiat truly became an overnight success in his early twenties. Fame and fortune had a price as Basquait died at the age of 27 living up to his mantra "Die young, leave a beautiful corpse." While his career was short lived Basquiat left a timeless imprint on art and pop-culture. Enjoy his work and keep an open mind.
