\u00a0Mario Schifano and Basquiat<\/b><\/h1>\n

What do <\/span>Mario Schifano<\/b> and <\/span>Jean-Michel Basquiat<\/b> have in common?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

The two artists, from Rome and America respectively, shared the city of <\/span>Modena<\/b>, a warehouse, and some huge blank canvases.<\/span><\/p>\n

But first things first.<\/span><\/p>\n

Samo\u00a9<\/b><\/h2>\n

In May 1981, when Basquiat (Brooklyn 1960- New York 1988), was 21 and just starting out, the great art dealer and gallerist <\/span>Emilio Mazzoli<\/b> invited him to Modena for his first European solo show under the pseudonym <\/span>Samo\u00a9<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1982 he returned to Modena for another show organized by Mazzoli, who this time suggested he sign his works with his real name.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mazzoli gave him a warehouse in which to work.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now here comes the good part.<\/span><\/p>\n

The warehouse was where <\/span>Mario Schifano<\/b> also worked for Mazzoli and where some huge blank canvases and a few finished works were stacked, all belonging to the king of the Piazza del Popolo School<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Working at a frenzied pace (sound familiar?) Basquiat used these canvases and in one week created eight monumental paintings larger than any he had done before.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mario Schifano’s expression \u201cCrucified to a horseshoe\u201d rings truer than ever. His forgotten canvases created another artist. Maybe some of his genius even rubbed off on those eight canvases, now all in private collections.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
