Did Barbie give a pink paint job to the one-time digs of legendary artist Jean-Michel Basquiat?
The mystery makeover at 57 Great Jones St. between the Bowery and Lafayette even included pink paint covering the memorial plaque marking Basquiat’s home, where he lived and worked from 1983 to his death in 1988.
The building — once owned by legendary pop artist Andy Warhol — has been leased by Angelina Jolie for commercial use for eight years.
The “Girl, Interrupted” star plans to transform it into a fashion hub called Atelier Jolie, “a place for creative people to collaborate with a skilled and diverse family of expert tailors, pattern makers and artisans.”
The actress, 48, announced her new venture’s home on Instagram in July, describing it as a workshop and exhibit space for “talented, underappreciated groups” of tailors to work together and display their creations.
