Our members gathered in Maison Assouline for an evening in celebration of the outstanding talent and explosive creativity of art world prodigy Jean-Michel Basquiat. Our guest lecturer Lizzie Perrotte immersed us in the frenetic world of Basquiat and the vibe of the electric 80s New York art scene.

Lizzie Perrotte is a specialist and one of the most engaging speakers on modern and contemporary art. She is currently programme director at Christie's Education and has held positions at the National Gallery, Tate, and the ICA.
