In an effort to preserve the integrity of the space that once was the creative space for Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat, the actress and humanitarian, Angelina Jolie, will launch Atelier Jolie, at the historic 57 Great Jones Street, serving under-represented tailors and artisans from around the world by creating apprenticeships.
57 Great Jones, once owned by Andy Warhol, was the home and studio of Jean-Michel Basquiat. This month, the ground-floor space has been converted to a temporary gallery, inspired by the late artist ~ with an opening exhibition by Basquiat’s friend Al Diaz, also known as #SAMO, in honor of the 30th anniversary of the Basquiat’s passing.
