Daniel Brade

Daniel Brade is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Daniel Brade showed up in New York in the late 1970s with a satchel full of Xeroxed drawings, black-and-white, jagged, like circuit diagrams for dreams. He’d leave stacks of them in diners and bus stations, treating the city like a public sketchbook. One set landed on a downtown table where Jean-Michel Basquiat ate, and Basquiat scribbled “SAME” on the corner before walking out.

You can still find those fly-posted sheets in MoMA’s study room under the call number “Drawings A-G, Box 22.”
