By 1984 Warhol had allied himself with prolific younger artists who dominated New York's “bull market” of the 1980s — Julian Schnabel, David Salle and other Neo-Expressionists, and the Transavantgarde artists Francesco Clemente and Enzo Cucchi. He also supported downtown artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, Kenny Scharf and Stefano Castronovo.
