The legend of Jean-Michel Basquiat is as strong as ever. Synonymous with 1980s New York, the artist first appeared in the late 1970s under the tag SAMO, spraying caustic comments and fragmented poems on the walls of the city. He appeared as part of a thriving underground scene of visual arts and graffiti, hip hop, post-punk, and DIY filmmaking , which met in a booming art world. As a painter with a strong personal voice, Basquiat soon broke into the established milieu, exhibiting in galleries around the world. Basquiat’s expressive style was based on raw figures and integrated words and phrases . His work is inspired by a pantheon of luminaries from jazz, boxing, and basketball, with references to arcane history and the politics of street life—so when asked about his subject matter, Basquiat answered “royalty, heroism and the streets.” In 1983 he started collaborating with the most famous of art stars, Andy Warhol , and in 1985 was on the cover of The New York Times Magazine . When Basquiat died at the age of 27, he had become one of the most successful artists of his time . First published in an XXL edition, this unprecedented insight into Basquiat’s art is now available in a compact, accessible volume in celebration of TASCHEN’s 40th anniversary. With pristine reproductions of his most seminal paintings , drawings , and notebook sketches , it offers vivid proximity to Basquiat’s intricate marks and scribbled words, further illuminated by an introduction to the artist from editor Hans Werner Holzwarth , as well as an essay on his themes and artistic development from curator and art historian Eleanor Nairne . Richly illustrated year-by-year chapter breaks follow the artist’s life and quote from his own statements and contemporary reviews to provide both personal background and historical context.

海外配送の不安と本の満足度
イギリスからベルギー経由で日本到着までは追跡できましたが、日本到着時点で配送完了表示となりました。その時点で荷物はまだ手元に届いていませんでした。誤配送で別の所に届けられた可能性も考えましたが、とりあえず当初の配達予定日まで待つことに。それ以降は自宅に届くまで追跡できず正直不安でしたが、最終的に発注時の予定日より1日早く郵便配達で届きました。landmarkから日本の郵便に引き継ぎの際、それまでの追跡番号が引き継がれずそこでデータ上配達完了となったのかもしれません。 本自体は漫画の豪華版みたいなコンパクトサイズで持ちやすく、内容もバスキアの作品を網羅的に年代順に見返せて満足です。アトリエやギャラリーでの展示風景や作画してるバスキアの写真などもちょこちょこ載ってるので久しぶりにバスキアの世界に浸れました。

Excelente artículo
Pasta gruesa, un poco más pequeño que el tamaño carta, viene envuelto muy bien y la calidad es impecable.

Usual Taschen quality
Taschen produces quality books and this one is no exception. I appreciate the choice of paper stock as being more matt than shiny, there is hardly any glare on the pages. Wonderful artist.
