The late artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, a leading figure of the 1980s New York art scene, found profound inspiration in Switzerland during his fourteen visits. A current exhibition at Hauser & Wirth in St. Moritz showcases how this European country influenced his work, from the enchanting landscapes to unique experiences like enjoying bratwursts. Curator Dieter Buchhart highlights the importance of this relationship, noting that the tranquil Swiss environment offered Basquiat a respite from the fast-paced New York lifestyle.
