96. Basquiat Around the House, with Alexis Adler
Just before Jean-Michel Basquiat became a big name in the 1980s art world, the up-and-coming artist shared a New York apartment with Alexis Adler, a scientist and photographer who snapped roughly 150 photos of her then-boyfriend and his creative endeavors. She's held onto those photos as well as many of Basquiat's creations, from drawings to clothing that he painted in his inimitable way, sharing them in numerous exhibitions.

Customer Reviews
Great podcast and always great content
David has a great skill of making each guest’s passion is undeniably fun to listen to and it feels like the listener is sitting in on a conversation. Each episode is a gem no matter the subject! Really is a fun and compelling podcast.
Be prepared to get lost….
Mr. Peterkofsky serves the Podcast medium well with his show “For Keeps”. His natural storytelling abilities coupled with engaging content, causes the listener to literally lose themselves in the episode. If only all podcasts were this good…
Nature boy
I would love for Brian to hear the a capella version of Nature Boy by The Real Group. It’s fantastic. Great episode.
