Jean Michel Basquiat (Book) by Rudy Chiappini (Swiss-Italian art critic and art historian). Book Like New, Yellow Box slightly marked, Paperback, 2005 Edition, Museo d’Arte moderna di Lugano, In Italian.
“Controversial artist, enfant terrible of the art world, friend of Haring and Warhol, idol and victim of the 1980s art scene, Jean-Michel Basquiat was a legend in his lifetime. This catalogue, published on the occasion of the major retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in Lugano, offers an excellent overview of Basquiat’s life and work. An African-American painter, Basquiat had a significant impact on the history of contemporary art.
From his origins as a street graffiti artist, he became one of the most influential artists of his time: in 2005, his work was celebrated in separate exhibitions in the United States and Europe. Emblems of the contemporary world, his explosive, colourful and apparently naïve canvases have an unparalleled force. The brief but intense artistic career of this famous representative of the downtown New York art scene of the 1980s is traced through some fifty paintings and twenty of works on paper from prestigious private and museum collections. This book offers an intense new dialogue with the most modern expressions of 20th-century art.”–Provided by publisher
