Jean-Michel Basquiat Documentary Premiere at MoMA in NYC

Chris Rock and Fab 5 Freddy

Julian Schnabel

New York's art celebs with downtown roots turned up for the premiere of director Tamra Davis' documentary, Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Child, a doc that looks like art itself, if this trailer is anything to go by, which we suspect it is. Here are some of the attendees at yesterday's Museum of Modern Art event. We are more than eager for the film's general release. (All photos by JT White for PatrickMcMullan.com)
