1985

About the Item

BASQUIAT, Jean-Michel. Jean-Michel Basquiat. (Zurich): Gallery Bruno Bischofberger, (1985). Tall quarto, original red cloth, original pictorial dust jacket. Pub. Bischofberger Editions, 1985. Rare 1980s Basquiat exhibition catalog featuring 12 full-page color plates (one folding) and a photographic portrait of Basquiat by Jeannette Montgomery. “Jean-Michel, contrary to what you might think, absolutely did not consider himself a ‘Graffiti Artist.’ He had always seen himself as a Fine Artist, and his influences ranged from Leonardo Da Vinci to Abstract Expressionists like Cy Twombly and Franz Kline” (John Seed). In January 1985, Basquiat enjoyed his first one-artist show, at the Bischofberger Gallery in Zurich. This is the commemorative book of 12 paintings from that show. A fine copy in very good overall vintage condition. Unsigned from an edition of unknown.

More on Fiorucci: 'The New York City Fiorucci store is the stuff of cultural legend. Located in East Midtown and attracting everyone from Gloria Vanderbilt to Madonna, it was as much a place to experience culture and art during the height of the mid 70s and early 80s as it was a store – with everyone from Keith Haring to Andy Warhol hosting events at the location. Intrinsically linked to the glamorous days of disco, the brand was even name checked in Sister Sledge's “He’s The Greatest Dancer” alongside Gucci and Halston. Marc Jacobs skipped summer school to hang out there, Cher would often wonder in, Maripol designed the space. They had an advert featuring Divine. It was unquestionably cool. As much as they became a staple of New York culture, Fiorucci’s origins were in Italy – where Elio Fiorucci, the son of a shoe shop owner, began designing wellies in primary colors before officially founding the brand in 1967.
