About the Item
Jean-Michel Basquiat Paintings 1981-1984:
Rare highly sought-after Basquiat exhibition catalog from 1984 published by The Fruitmarket Gallery in Edinburgh, Scotland. Entitled: "Jean-Michel Basquiat: Paintings, 1981-1984" marked Basquiat's first solo museum exhibition
UK debut. The front and back covers feature original designs by Basquiat with two quotations inscribed on the back. The text and the image, according to Basquiat, was meant to be viewed as a singular composition.
This major exhibition, which was organized by Mark Francis, traveled from to the Institute of Contemporary Art in London (1985) and the Boymans-van Beuningen Museum in Rotterdam (1985). A rare historical 1980s Basquiat collectible that seldom comes to market.
1984 exhibition catalog; softcover, 9 x 1 2 inches.
Minor surface wear to cover; otherwise very good overall vintage condition.
Unsigned from an edition of unknown. Scarce.
Well-suited for display or framing.
Jean-Michel Basquiat’s dramatic life and iconic paintings—which variously feature obsessive scribbling, enigmatic symbols and diagrams, and iconography including skulls, masks, and the artist’s trademark crown—make him one of the most famous artists of the 20th century. The self-taught painter embraced graffiti before committing to a studio practice. He found a mentor and friend in Andy Warhol, who helped the young artist navigate the 1980s New York art world. Across his oeuvre, Basquiat drew on his own Caribbean heritage; a convergence of African American, African, and Aztec cultural histories; classical themes; and pop cultural figures including athletes and musicians. The immediacy and intellectual depth of his paintings won him widespread acclaim both before and after his untimely death at the age of 27. Basquiat’s paintings now belong in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, among others. In 2017, Basquiat’s Untitled (1982) notched $110.5 million at auction and became the most expensive artwork by an American artist to ever be sold.
