Susan Wojcicki, a pioneering tech executive who helped shape Google and YouTube, has died, her husband said. She was 56.

“Jean-Michel got me into painting differently, so that’s a good thing.” – Andy Warhol
The collaborations between Basquiat and Warhol epitomize the vibrant and eclectic energy of the 1980s art world, merging Warhol’s pop art sensibilities with Basquiat’s raw, expressive style to create works that both reflect and challenge the cultural dynamics of the era.
“In their collaboration, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol came together and opened new ideas and spaces of thought that mirror both our present time as well as the past and future. The results are brilliant artworks that continue to have an impact in our own time as they appear to address pressing and highly relevant contemporary topics such as racism and consumerism. Their collaboration was a unique project and probably one of the greatest and most enduring in all of art history,” –– Dr. Dieter Buchhart, Co-curator for The Brant Foundation’s Basquiat x Warhol exhibition
