"The Collaboration" is a play about a collaboration between two artists - Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat written by a four-time Oscar nominee Anthony McCarten. The Young Vic play received numerous positive reviews and was an absolute hit which made a transfer to Broadway and a major film adaptation possible. Both of the main characters played on stage by Paul Bettany and Jeremy Pope will be played by the same actors on the big screen, which is pretty unusual but very appreciated by the movie director. The movie will be set in 1980s in New York and will tell the story of the artists' lives. This is really exciting news, especially after being able to see their works in real life. It will be incredibly interesting to see how the artists interacted, how their conversations might have looked like and how they managed to overcome their differences and turn them into a beautiful exhibition.

We were lucky to be able to see the Basquiat exhibition in Vienna.
