Jean-Michel Basquiat

Regular price Regular price $65

This book was published on the occasion of the exhibition Jean-Michel Basquiat at the Museo d’Arte Moderna della Città di Lugano, Switzerland. Documenting more than seventy works by the artist in color and black-and-white—including paintings, drawings, and collaborations with Francesco Clemente and Andy Warhol—it surveys Basquiat’s brief but brilliant career. The publication features essays by Bruno Bischofberger, Luciano Caprile, Henry Geldzahler, Jeffrey Hoffeld, Richard D. Marshall, and Achille Bonito Oliva, as well as cataloguing of the works by Luca Marenzi and a chronology by Gaia Regazzoni. It also includes previously unpublished photographs by film director Edo Bertoglio, some of which were taken during the shooting of the film New York Beat (later renamed Downtown 81), in which Basquiat plays an unknown artist trying to survive in early 1980s New York.
