ARKEN has taken the ambitious and money-savvy idea of exhibiting the 100-strong works of Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat during their short but highly productive collaboration between 1983 and 1985. Both were essential figures in the New York's art world in the 80s, so this brings a unique opportunity to dissect the fame and the methods of these now seemingly caricature artists.
