Surprisingly‚ writers hardly wrote about his relationships with men‚ they only wrote about his relationships with women such and Madonna and Alex Adler. Basquiat and Warhol were collaborators but also secret‚ intimate lovers. When Warhol passed away‚ Basquiat went into a deep depression that caused him to increase his use of heroin.
