About the Item

Jean Michel Basquiat: Paintings: Akira Ikeda Gallery, 1985: Rare sought-after Basquiat exhibition catalog from 1985 published by Akira Ikeda Gallery, Tokyo. An exquisitely rendered Basquiat collectible produced during the artist's lifetime. 1985 exhibition catalog; softcover. Approximately 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. Unsigned from a limited edition of unknown (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.

Standout highly decorative 1970s pop art that is well-suited for framing. Magazine on newspaper stock. The full edition of the magazine. Approximately 50 pages. Measures: 11 x 17 inches. Well-preserved bold signature. Magazine: good overall vintage condition. Private collection New York, NY. Further background: Interview Magazine, founded in 1969 by Andy Warhol and John Wilcock, was a pop culture magazine known for its celebrity interviews and Warhol's influence. Originally a film journal, it evolved into a major player in celebrity culture, especially in the 1970s, with a focus on glamour and pop culture After starring on the cover of January 1973 edition, Interview founder Andy Warhol and then-editor Bob Colacello, went back in the saddle with Jagger twice by highlighting the Halston muse and humanitarian on covers in 1975 and 1978. Each image from the issues depicts Jagger as beguiling as the next, a total knockout that leaves little wonder why she became the seductress of Studio 54. Related Categories Signed Andy Warhol.
