Jean-Michel Basquiat

Details & Dimensions

This vibrant retrospective explores Jean-Michel Basquiat’s unique visual language and the urgent social and political messages embedded in his work—messages that still resonate today.

A rising star of the 1980s New York art scene, Basquiat created a powerful, symbolic body of work before his untimely death at 27. Drawing from cartoons, advertising, his Haitian and Puerto Rican roots, and global cultural histories, he fused classical themes with contemporary icons to challenge racism, power, and injustice.

This book offers fresh insight into Basquiat’s intricate network of signs and symbols—decoding a legacy that is as bold, complex, and emotionally charged now as ever.
