Description

Basquiat Exclusive

The book revolves around a series of 12 key works by Jean-Michel Basquiat, created in the spring of 1983 – at the time when the artist’s oeuvre was at its most complex. The “Museum Security” series raises the subjects most important in Basquiat’s oeuvre, including music, anatomy, sports, comics, the economy, the history of African Americans and the history of art. His multi-layered exploration of socio-political issues, ranging from discrimination and prejudices to capitalism, the market and subjugation reaches its pinnacle in these paintings.
