Jean-Michel Basquiat Hawaii 1984 (Basquiat photograph)

c.2014

About the Item

Jean-Michel Basquiat photograph 1984/2014: This intimate photo of Jean-Michel Basquiat was taken during his stay on a ranch in Hana on the island of Maui in 1984. He was working in a studio he set up in Hana. Paige Powell, along with Basquiat's sister Jeanine, his father, Gerard, all visited the artist in Hawaii that February. Featured as part of the Suzanne Geiss gallery exhibition, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Reclining Nude, New York, 2014. Medium: Archival Inkjet Print. Printed 2014. Dimensions 20 x 24 inches. Unsigned from an edition of unknown. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity from Paige Powell. Photographer and curator Paige Powell is best known for her series “Jean-Michel Basquiat, Reclining Nude” (1983), a collection of black-and-white 35mm nude portraits of Jean-Michel Basquiat taken over the course of their two-year relationship. These images were just a handful from her extensive archive of documentary photography focused on the avant-garde art world of the 1980s—particularly the circle of artists that congregated around Andy Warhol at his Factory. To Powell her images possess an autobiographical element that renders them as much about her subjects as her relationship to them: “Unknowingly I was documenting my life. I wasn’t analytical,” she has said. “It was all really about being in the moment, the spontaneity of it and becoming part of the moment.”
