*DAY 1*: Today is Wednesday 6/1 - An INTRODUCTIONS AND IDEAS day. Scroll down the page to view clips from two films that direct our attention to the art
market through the real life example of artist and art market entrepreneur, Jean Michel Basquiat (1960-1988). The first film, Basquiat (Julian Schnabel, dir. 1996)
is a fiction film about the artist's life starring Jeffry Wright as Basquiat, Benecio del Toro as the artist's friend and David Bowie as Andy Warhol. The second film,
Downtown 81 stars Basquiat as himself. The selected clips highlight different aspects of the art market, including how artist's market themselves, how they
'become famous,' the relationship between artists, dealers and galleries, and so on. Take note of these and other aspects you glean from these clips to write
your own definition of the art market in 250 words or less in the space next to your name provided below. Comment on each other's definition in the comment box.
On the last day of class, you will be asked to rewrite your definition of the art market based on what you have learned in this class.
