Widow Basquiat

Jennifer Clement

1980s New York given to the woman rather than the painter, in fragments rather than chronology.

Jennifer Clement’s portrait of Suzanne Mallouk, who lived with Jean-Michel Basquiat in 1980s New York, is written in short lyrical fragments rather than chronology. It gives the years to the woman rather than the painter, and is unsentimental about what that period cost her.

On one level, Widow Basquiat is a chaotic love story between the artist Jean-Michel Basquiat and his lover and muse, Suzanne Malouk.
