An exquisitely rendered Basquiat collectible produced during the artist's lifetime. Hardcover, cloth bound exhibition catalog with dust jacket. 1st edition 1985. Dimensions: 10.5 x 8.75 inches. 16 pages; includes ten full color reproductions, 3 foldout images, an exhibition checklist & intimate photographic portrait of Basquiat by Toshitaka Utsida. Very good to excellent overall vintage condition. Superb overall production quality. Limited edition hardcover version of 300. Signatures are printed. Published by Akira Ikeda Gallery Tokyo, 1985. Jean-Michel Basquiat’s dramatic life and iconic paintings—which variously feature obsessive scribbling, enigmatic symbols and diagrams, and iconography including skulls, masks, and the artist’s trademark crown—make him one of the most famous artists of the 20th century. The self-taught painter embraced graffiti before committing to a studio practice. He found a mentor and friend in Andy Warhol, who helped the young artist navigate the 1980s New York art world. Across his oeuvre, Basquiat drew on his own Caribbean heritage; a convergence of African American, African, and Aztec cultural histories; classical themes; and pop cultural figures including athletes and musicians. The immediacy and intellectual depth of his paintings won him widespread acclaim both before and after his untimely death at the age of 27. Basquiat’s paintings now belong in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, among others. In 2017, Basquiat’s Untitled (1982) notched $110.5 million at auction and became the most expensive artwork by an American artist to ever be sold.
