About this product
Product Information
This work examines the fascinating life and art of the African American painter Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-1988). Jean-Michel Basquiat was barely out of his teens when he rocketed to the center of New York's art scene. He was 27 when he died of a heroin overdose. Always controversial, Basquiat is now established as a major contemporary painter whose unique work continues to enthrall. Jean-Michel Basquiat: A Biography covers the artist's Brooklyn childhood, his teenage years as a homeless graffiti painter, and his rise through the art world. Along with a discussion of his life and work, including his use of Afrocentric themes, the book offers background on related contemporary art movements. Special attention is given to Basquiat's friendship with Keith Haring and collaborations with Andy Warhol. The book also explores Basquiat's difficult relations with gallery owners and other authority figures, his problems with drug use, and his early death. A final chapter covers his continuing relevance and ongoing influence.

"Like his heroes musicians Charlie Parker and Jimi Hendrix, African American artist Basquiat (1960-1988) was considered a creative genius and died young of a drug overdose. A veteran observer of the New York art scene traces his rise from troubled NY subway graffiti tagger to friend of Andy Warhol and iconic New York Times Magazine cover image in 1985. Fretz also discusses his legacy as a major contemporary artist. The biography includes a timeline of events in Basquiat's life, sources, and a list of his works." - Reference & Research Book News, "Like his heroes musicians Charlie Parker and Jimi Hendrix, African American artist Basquiat (1960-1988) was considered a creative genius and died young of a drug overdose.
