Edited by Hans Werner Holzwarth, with an essay by curator Eleanor Nairne on Basquiat's artistic development, it gathers sharp reproductions of his paintings, drawings, and notebook pages in a format you can actually hold and read.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book follows Basquiat from his late 1970s SAMO tag through his rise as a gallery star, with year-by-year chapter openers that weave in his own statements and reviews from the time. Along the way you meet the themes he returned to again and again, royalty, heroism, and the street, alongside jazz, boxing, basketball, and art history. Released for Taschen's 40th anniversary, it is one of the most complete Basquiat references at a very giftable size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBook Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960 to 1988)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEditor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hans Werner Holzwarth, with an essay by Eleanor Nairne\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Taschen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2020\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover, 512 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 6.1 x 8.5 in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Taschen 40th anniversary edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubjects:\u003c\/strong\u003e Contemporary art, neo-expressionism, 1980s New York, painting and drawing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9783836580922\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStyling Suggestions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStand it upright on a bookshelf with the crowned figure facing out, like a small framed painting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePair it with a single sculptural candle or a stack of bold graphic books on a console table\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep it on a nightstand or reading chair side table, where its size makes it easy to pick up and browse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Perfect Gift\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA smart gift for art students, collectors, streetwear lovers, and anyone who lights up at a Basquiat crown.
