Basquiat x Warhol: Paintings 4 Hands

Two legends, one canvas. The landmark catalogue of the Basquiat and Warhol collaboration.

Basquiat x Warhol: Paintings 4 Hands is the official English catalogue of the 2023 exhibition at the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris, published by Editions Gallimard. Between 1984 and 1985, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol made around 160 paintings together, many of them among the largest works either artist ever produced. Warhol's logos, headlines, and brand imagery collide with Basquiat's crowns, words, and figures on the same surface, creating a true conversation between two very different ways of painting.

The book brings together more than 100 of these jointly signed canvases, alongside individual works by each artist and pieces by downtown contemporaries such as Keith Haring, Jenny Holzer, and Kenny Scharf. Essays look at how the two artists traded ideas on style and form, and interviews with figures from the 1980s New York art scene bring the era to life. Themes of fame, race, identity, and consumer culture run throughout. Oversized and heavily illustrated, it is both a serious reference and a showstopping coffee table book.
