Great book . . . but,

This review is from: The Jean-Michel Basquiat Show (Hardcover)
Yes, the content is as dazzling as everyone says. The tragedy being it is priced out of the range of young artists that stand to gain the most from seeing it.
The images should be up on the internet, not buried in vanity stacks of the wealthy.

An absolutely Extraordinary book on the work of Basquiat!,

This review is from: The Jean-Michel Basquiat Show (Hardcover)
This is by far the best and most extensive book on the work of Basquiat that I have ever seen. It is truly extraordinary. So much of his work is covered here in amazing pictures. The text of the book is wonderful as well and provides an exceptional amount of information about Basquiat and the 80s New York art scene and many of the characters associated with that scene as well. It also includes a section of pictures of Basquiat's circle of friends in the New York scene of the time including pics of Warhol, Madonna and all the usual suspects of that era. A really nice touch. Everything together provides you with the feel of the time and the energy that surrounded Basquiat as he created his wonderful paintings. Aside from being the best book of Basquiat's work I've ever seen, it is hands down one of the best coffeetable hardcover art books I've ever encountered. If you're a fan of Basquiat or a fan of art in general, or just interested in seeing some great pics of the 80s New York scene, this book is for you. The quality of the craftsmanship of the hardcover book is quite amazing. Extremely well put together inside and out. A bargain at double the price. A wonderful addition to any collection of art books. Buy and Enjoy!

This review is from: The Jean-Michel Basquiat Show (Hardcover)
I have about 5 titles that cover this amazingly talented artist and this is about the best one point source for his material that I've come across. Excellent and highly recommend, hence the nose bleed price...sadly.
