Roland Hagenberg
During the 1980s, Austrian artist, photographer and writer Roland Hagenberg documented the art world in New York, where he met Andy Warhol, Jeff Koons, Keith Haring, Louise Bourgeois, Robert Mapplethorpe, Francesco Clemente and dozens of other renowned artists in their studios. Among them was Jean-Michel Basquiat whom Hagenberg photographed while painting in his Crosby Street studio.
The result was a portfolio of black and white photographs depicting Basquiat’s dark-romantic world with a sense of foreboding. A few years later he died at the age of 28 years.
Roland Hagenberg’s impressive portraits have significantly shaped our image of Basquiat, the artist.
