Big, loud, and hard to ignore, this XXL monograph on Jean-Michel Basquiat puts his work front and center with oversized, high-quality reproductions that capture the raw texture of his paintings. The book pulls together major pieces from across his career, letting the mix of words, symbols, and color speak without much filter. Essays from editor Hans Werner Holzwarth and curator Eleanor Nairne add context, tracing his rise in 1980s New York and the impact that followed.
