About the Item

Basquiat Man Made exhibition catalog 2013: Rare 2013 exhibition catalog to Sotheby's S/2 Basquiat "Man Made" exhibition sale featuring over 30 works by Jean-Michel Basquiat. The catalog showcases seminal pieces in a variety of mediums and from a range of important dates in the artist's oeuvre and features a standout metal screw binding. The carefully curated grouping explores the key themes Basquiat grappled with during his career and the variety of media he used to express them. The catalog is illustrated throughout includes fold-out plates, and photographs of Basquiat with introductory text by Glenn O’Brien. 10 x 10 inches. Very good overall vintage condition. Unsigned from an edition of unknown; scarce. 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.
