The author of Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Making of an Icon, Doug Woodham, knows the art market well.
Doug Woodham, a former president of the Americas for Christie's auction house and current managing partner of Art Fiduciary Advisors, claims some affinity with Basquiat through their middle-class origins, churchy background, and similar age.
