BASQUIAT
When Jean-Michel Basquiat passed away at the age of 27, he was already a superstar in the art world. After making a splash as a graffiti artist in New York City, he quickly gained recognition in the legitimate art world for his wildly colorful, collage-like paintings filled with iconography and scribbled words, often referencing his Haitian and Puerto Rican heritage. This hefty monograph gathers the artist's major works and includes commentary on his life and career.
