Superb reproductions of Basquiat's paintings, drawings and notebook sketches, as well as texts by the editor Hans Werner Holzwarth and the curator Eleanor Nairne, bring us closer to a legendary artist who is most closely associated with 1980s New York.

Basquiat's personal, expressive style is composed of rough figure drawings and words and phrases integrated into the picture plane. Inspired by jazz stars, famous boxers, or basketball players, his work contains a multitude of references to the history and politics of street life.
