The pop superstar Taylor Swift is everywhere—and so is her current boyfriend, Travis Kelce, the American football star who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs. Kelce has signed up as a producer of a new documentary about the late artist Jean-Michel Basquiat called King Pleasure, named after a Los Angeles show from 2022. “[The Basquiat estate] granted us incredible access to their trove of materials and we are excited to collaborate with the [documentary] director [Quinn Wilson] who has a dazzling vision for an intimate and emotional portrait of Jean-Michel Basquiat’s life,” Jordan Wynn, the president of Boardwalk Studios, told Deadline magazine. Basquiat fever never ends; Gagosian gallery in Beverly Hills is hosting yet another show of the artist’s works focused exclusively on pieces he produced in Los Angeles (Made on Market Street, until 1 June). Canny Larry Gagosian was ahead of the curve when he first invited Basquiat to Los Angeles, presenting his work for the first time on the West Coast in 1982.
