Book ID: 73545
Focuses on Basquait during the critical year of 1981, the year he moved from the street to the studio, combining a coming-of-age story, an intimate oral history of the shifting cultural tide of NY's downtown scene, and a groundbreaking survey of rarely seen work, charting Basquiat's progression from spray-painted text to text-and-image; from found materials to painted canvases; from pure drawing to a hybrid of painting and drawing. Features contributions from Glenn O'Brien, Annina Nosei, Gerard Basquiat, Fab 5 Freddy, Arto Lindsay and others.
