Jean-Michel Basquiat's dad is named Gérard Basquiat. (The second e in his first name should have an accent, but it is not always used in this country). Gerard, now retired, was an accountant born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti who moved to Brooklyn in 1955. Jean-Michel, born 1960, was his first child.

More about Jean-Michel's relationship with his Gérard in Jean-Michel Basquiat: A Biography, by Eric Fretz, Greenwood Press, 2010.

Gérard was also interviewed about his son's work in the book Jean-Michel Basquiat 1981: The Studio of the Street (New York: Deitch Projects; Milan: Charta, 2007), p. 90.
