Fruitmarket

This guide to the Fruitmarket gallery in Edinburgh returns to August 1984, when newly arrived director Mark Francis unpacked sixteen canvases by an artist almost nobody in the city recognized: Jean-Michel Basquiat. It traces how a former fruit and vegetable warehouse above Waverley station came to host his first UK exhibition, and where the paintings travelled after leaving Edinburgh. Listen for the works named in that show, including Hollywood Africans and Charles the First.
