Jean-Michel Basquiat
This comprehensive and lavishly produced monograph reproduces many of Jean-Michel Basquiat’s major works—including paintings, drawings, and sketches—at large scale and in intricate detail, facilitating an unmatched insight into his practice. In addition to illustrating the works themselves, the book features installation and studio views, film stills, historical photographs, and five spectacular foldouts. With images organized into year-by-year chapters, each featuring a text by Lutz Eitel, it also follows the artist’s development through his own statements and contemporary reviews. Basquiat’s oeuvre is further illuminated by an account of his themes, rise to prominence, and lasting influence by editor and designer Hans Werner Holzwarth, and an examination of his achievements as a visual storyteller by curator and writer Eleanor Nairne.
