Friday's opening shot

Seen this morning outside the Brant Foundation on Sixth Street between Avenue A and First Avenue (thanks, Steph, for the pic!)... a step-and-repeat banner apparently leftover from a celebration... 

Dom Pérignon, which, along with Miller High Life is one of our favorite Champagne maisons, pays tribute to Jean-Michel Basquiat with a special-edition Vintage 2015. (And no, you won't be able to order it down the street at the Cherry Tavern.) 

DP previously collaborated on special-edition bottle designs featuring Andy Warhol and Jeff Koons. 

The Brant Foundation's first show here in the spring of 2019 featured work by Basquiat — some 70 works collectively valued at $1 billion.

There was a crowd of people there last night lined up on the sidewalk. Everyone was dressed up. I wondered if they were waiting for someone, but didn't stay to find out.
