Jean-Michel Basquiat Work

Update – Art

Jean Michel-Basquiat In-App Purchase Record Loïc Gouzer painting artwork 'untitled'

Last week, former Christie’s co-chairman Loïc Gouzer debuted his new app called Fair Warning. The artwork auction app sees a single piece of art auctioned off each week starting on Sundays at 5 p.m. EDT. Yesterday, Gouzer announced that the app sold Jean-Michel Basquiat’s Untitled (1982) for $10.8 million USD — a record for an in-app purchase of any item. Measuring four by six feet, the acrylic and oil stick Basquiat work was kept in Gouzer’s garage in Montauk, which he transformed into a climate-controlled viewing room. Interested buyers were allowed to view it in person.

For more news, yet another Yayoi Kusama exhibition has been postponed as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 lockdowns.

Official Soundtrack Lands on Spotify – Cowboy

Update – Music

Cowboy Bebop Official Soundtrack Spotify playlist music jazz blues anime animation tv shoes series Yoko Kanno Shinichiro Watanabe

Official soundtrack has been added to Spotify, a boisterous compilation of jazz tunes that recounts Shinichirō Watanabe’s critically acclaimed 1998 sci-fi anime by Cowboy Bebop.

Yoko Kanno led the anime’s soundtrack, forming the band Seatbelts specifically for the show. 

Spotify put together close to three and a half hours of music from the anime, stacking tunes from individual albums like COWBOY BEBOP Tank! the! Best!COWBOY BEBOP and COWBOY BEBOP Vitaminless

The playlist is packed with rich blues and jazz compositions, of which Kanno notes were the first aspects of the show to be produced, before most of the characters, story or animation, sometimes acting as inspiration for various scenes.
