Adrien Brody Instagram – Alfredo Martinez was larger than life, an inspiration and a friend who always tried to help me along my path as an artist, He spotted me through the widow of my storefront studio on the Bowery back in 2016 and came in “guns blazing,” armed with stories and brandishing an arsenal of colorful gun paintings that I was so enamored with, I bought them on the spot. He shared tales of hardship and triumph, he was an original who was also notorious for forging Basquiat, eventually landing him in Rikers. Alfredo passed away last Sunday night. I’m grateful to have known him. He will be missed. Rest In Peace my friend. #alfredomartinez photos courtesy of @sylviaplachy | Posted on 26/Aug/2023 08:47:57
