Sinopsis

Al Díaz and Jean-Michel Basquiat stoked public intrigue in 1978 as teenagers when they began tagging their SAMO©&hellip, writings throughout New York City.The statements spoke to people, spoke about people, and sometimes spoke of nothing at all. What began as a cynical, yet clever joke among friends&mdash,eventually became a creative cornerstone for both artists&mdash,and a hallmark of NYC art historical accounts.Everyone around town was asking,&ldquo,Who is SAMO?&rdquo, Basquiat&rsquo,s path was well laid when the pair gave up their anonymity to the Village Voice in December 1978, in exchange for $100. The ball was rolling. Within two years Basquiat would be a famous painter, abruptly leaving behind Díaz and street writings for the blue chip gallery circuit. Díaz became a regular player in the NYC music scene. SAMO©&hellip, was dead. Ten years after that, Basquiat was also dead. But today, Albert Díaz is very much alive.
