In the interest of maintaining a reasonable level of safety and equality in the sometimes treacherous conditions of the Berlin flea market or junk shop, we have observed and noted a code of conduct – a set of articles, if you will, to ensure a satisfactory bargain hunting discourse is maintained. Please note, these articles serve to promote the sport of treasure hunting, as opposed to finding ‘the’ vintage item of the century. We are talking novelty glass egg cups and incredible photos of people you have never met. Think stories, think nostalgia. And then think about getting both of those things for less than a fiver.
A new exhibition at London’s St Martin’s Lane Front Room, shows rare photographs of artist Jean Michel Basquiat riding the 80’s downtown New York club scene, taken by GRAY bandmate Nicholas Taylor. The exhibition also features never-before-seen black and white images of the couple playing together in the infamous experimental band GREY, whose legendary Mudd Club residency brought them praise from Andy Warhol’s Interview Magazine, who called them “possibly the best band on the planet”.
