Andy Warhol ( 1928 - 1987 ) and Jean Michel Basquiat ( 1960 - 1988 ) first met in 1982 and their collaborative work really began a couple years later. At Basquiat's dealer, Bruno Bischofberger's suggestion, Warhol and Basquiat began a series of collaborative paintings after what amounted to the brotherhood of the traveling canvas between Basquiat, Warhol and Italian artist Francesco Clemente.

The rules were simple, each artist was to begin three separate paintings and one drawing each. They would leave enough " mental & physical space " for the other artists to contribute to the paintings, and the next person would begin to tell their story, apropos of nothing but their own imagination.

The three artists continued this experience between them for about a year, and in late 1984 Warhol and Basquiat began secretly collaborating on their own. Warhol was inspired by Basquiat's energy and youth, and Basquiat had always idolized Warhol. During the collaborations, Warhol would usually be the one surprisingly to begin the painting. He would often silkscreen a recognizable logo or product onto the canvas, which Basquiat would promptly write of paint over, leaving his own trademark graffiti style on the work, creating a dialogue between the two personalities and aesthetics of each artist.
