There are vanishingly few great collaborations in the annals of fine art. For a brief moment in the 1980s, Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat showed the world how it was done.

In room after room, two different aesthetics, generations and temperaments collide -- and find an unexpected synergy. At their best, it is hard to tell where one artist begins and the other ends, as in the monumental, 10-metre-long "African Masks". But there were doubters as well. Many felt portraits should be the singular vision of an individual artist.
