Oh, Carlos.

Art.
Life.
Whatever.

Jean-Michel Basquiat, Untitled (Pecho/Oreja) [1982-83].
This painting is so good I can almost get over the fact that it was jointly owned by the members of U2.  It must be such a catch-22 for whomever is/was in charge of managing their collection:  the luxury of building a career out of spending other people’s money on the art of your dreams is as scarce as hen’s teeth; but I couldn’t sleep at night knowing it was my job to have taste for vulgar nouveau riche pop stars.
