Baghoomian was cousin to Tony Shafrazi, another dealer and sometime graffiti artist who earned notoriety for defacing Picasso’s „Guernica.“ For some reason these sorts of 1980s „rebels“ had it in for Picasso. When Basquiat was over in Europe on one junket, he and his cronies got high on coke at the Paris apartment of artist George Condo. As Phoebe Hoban put it, „There Basquiat indulged in the elite privileges of eighties success: he communed with Picasso by snorting coke off glass-framed drawings by the genius of another era. …“ (Phoebe Hoban). – Tadellos.
