Basquiat first met Andy Warhol when he sold him a postcard in 1979.{{Cite web|last=Brumfitt|first=Stuart|date=September 19, 2017|title=New York Inspiration {{!}} Tales from Teen Basquiat's Best Friend|url=https://amuse.vice.com/en_us/article/qv9q87/basquiats-best-friend|access-date=2020-10-04|website=Amuse|language=en}} Later, when Basquiat was selling painted sweatshirts, he went to the Factory and Warhol purchased some. "I just wanted to meet him, he was an art hero of mine," Basquiat recalled.{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=1_i5f3jhD9UC&dq='I+just+wanted+to+meet+him,+he+was+an+art+hero+of+mine,&pg=PA2547|title=The New York Times Guide to the Arts of the 20th Century: 1900-1929|date=2002|publisher=Taylor & Francis|isbn=978-1-57958-290-6|pages=2547|language=en}} Bruno Bischofberger became Basquiat's art dealer and organized a one-man show in his Zurich gallery in September 1982.{{Cite book|last=Hoban|first=Phoebe|url=https://archive.org/details/basquiatquickkil0000hoba_y1x9|title=Basquiat: A Quick Killing in Art|date=1998|publisher=New York : Viking|others=Internet Archive|isbn=978-0-670-85477-6|pages=134}} Bischofberger, who also represented Warhol, arranged a lunch meeting between the two artists on October 4, 1982.{{Cite web|last=Faughnan|first=Ally|date=May 28, 2019|title=The best, worst, and weirdest parts of Warhol and Basquiat's friendship|url=https://www.dazeddigital.com/art-photography/article/44600/1/never-before-seen-photos-diary-andy-warhol-jean-michel-basquiat-friendship|access-date=2020-10-04|website=Dazed|language=en}}{{Cite web |title=Collabs origin {{!}} Galerie Bruno Bischofberger |url=https://www.brunobischofberger.com/collabs-origin?lang=de |access-date=2023-12-10 |website=GALERIE BRUNO BISCHOFBERGER |language=de}} Warhol documented the meeting in a diary entry, which was posthumously published in The Andy Warhol Diaries (1989):

Down to meet Bruno Bischofberger (cab $7.50). He brought Jean-Michel Basquiat with him. He's the kid who used the name "Samo" when he used to sit on the sidewalk in Greenwich Village and paint T-shirts, and I'd give him $10 here and there…He was just one of those kids who drove me crazy. He's black but some people say he's Puerto Rican so I don't know. And then Bruno discovered him and now he’s on Easy Street. He's got a great loft on Christie Street. He was a middle-class Brooklyn kid—I mean, he went to college and things—and he was trying to be like that, painting in the Greenwich Village. And so had lunch for them and then I took a Polaroid and he went home and within two hours a painting was back, still wet, of him and me together. And I mean, just getting to Christie Street must have taken an hour. He told me his assistant painted it.{{Cite book|last1=Warhol|first1=Andy|url=https://archive.org/details/andywarholdiarie00warh|title=The Andy Warhol diaries|last2=Hackett|first2=Pat|date=1989|publisher=New York, NY : Warner Books|others=The Archive of Contemporary Music|isbn=978-0-446-51426-2|pages=462}}
