David Bowie (1947-2016) wears the same wigs in the film that Andy Warhol (1928-1987) used to wear.
The estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-1988) did not grant permission to use the originals of his works, so copies drawn by director Julian Schnabel were used in the film.
Benicio Del Toro was so eager to star in this film that he agreed to work without a fee.
Chris Rock was offered the lead role in the film. The actor declined the offer because he had no idea who Jean-Michel Basquiat was.
Towards the end of the film, Gary Oldman's character shows the protagonist, played by Jeffrey Wright, a painting and says he painted it in memory of a deceased friend. In the upper right corner of the painting, the inscription “JMB aug12” is visible. These are the initials of Jean-Michel Basquiat and the date of his death.
