Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Jean-Michel Basquiat (December 22, 1960 - August 12, 1988) was an American artist and is cited by Graham Thompson as the first painter of African descent to become an international art star. He started as a graffiti writer in New York City, and in the 1980s produced Neo-expressionist painting. Basquiat died of a heroin overdose on August 12, 1988. Basquiat was born in Brooklyn, New York to Matilde and Gerard Basquiat. His mother was Puerto Rican and his father is an accountant of Haitian origin. Because of his parents' nationalities, Basquiat was fluent in French, Spanish, and English before the age of eleven. He read in these languages, including Symbolist poetry, mythology, and history. At an early age, Basquiat displayed an aptitude for art and was encouraged by his mother to draw, paint, and to participate in other art-related activities. In late 1977, while a student at City-As-School high school in Brooklyn, Basquiat and his friend Al Diaz started spray-painting graffiti art on buildings in lower Manhattan, adding the signature of "SAMO". The graphics were messages such as "Plush safe he think.. SAMO" and "SAMO as an escape clause". In December 1978, the Village Voice published an article about the writings. The SAMO project ended with the epitaph "SAMO IS DEAD" written on the walls of SoHo buildings. Basquiat dropped out of high school in September 1978, at the beginning of his senior year. He decided to leave his home and began living with friends, earning money by selling T-shirts and postcards on ...http://booksllc.net/?l=de ... Read more

56 paintings reproduced in vivid colour
JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT: Paintings and Drawings 1980-1988 is a collection of works organized for the February-March 1998 exhibition at the Gagosian Gallery. It contains 56 works on full-colour plates. Listing the paintings within is rather difficult because Basquiat left so many of them without titles, but among the titled works are "Pegasus", "Procession", "Duck", "Peruvian Maid", "Mao O.D.", "Blue Skies", "Toxic", "Ting", "Pink Devil", "Ancient Scientist", "Tesla vs. Edison", "Chicken Wings Three", "Alchemy", "Back of the Neck", "Italian Version of Popeye Has No Pork In His Diet", "Side View of an Oxen's Jaw", "Banker", and "Sheriff". There is also a brief comment by Larry Gagosian about how he came to know Basquiat.

The colours here are extremely vivid, more than any other Basquiat collection I know of. And I was thrilled to finally see "Pegasus" reproduced at a size large enough to make out its myriad details. While this collection contains no commentary--those curious about Basquiat's work should seek out the inexpensive Taschen guide--it's still a fine book. ... Read more
