Jean-Michel Basquiat only painted for 8 years, and left us with over 600 major canvases – he truly is the 20th century Van Gogh.
There’s a solid introduction to Basquiat by the editor, a good essay by Eleanor Nairne, and a few pages that introduce each of the book’s eight chronological sections. They really shine a light on both the artist as well as his work.
The text doesn’t dominate the visual experience. This is an eye book first and foremost – fantastic reproductions, great printing quality. One minor blemish: the book doesn’t indicate the whereabouts of the paintings. On all other accounts: exceptional.
If you have money to spare – consider buying the much larger XXL edition of this, for 150 euros. It was first published in 2018. I have both the XXL editions of Rembrandt, and I can attest to the production values of that series. Basquiat’s paintings, often with intricate detail, is undoubtly done more justice in even bigger reproductions.
