{"product_id":"basquiat-the-world-of-jean-michel","title":"Basquiat: The World of Jean-Michel","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn May 1982, Swiss dealer Bruno Bischofberger became Jean-Michel Basquiat's exclusive worldwide representative, a relationship that held until the artist's death in 1988 and carried the two of them from Zurich to St. Moritz to the Ivory Coast. This monograph draws on that history, along with rare archival photographs (several of works since destroyed or lost) and handwritten notes from Keith Haring and Andy Warhol, tracing Basquiat's practice across his Heads series, the downtown New York scene that shaped him, his Warhol collaborations, and his engagement with Black identity and mythological symbolism. The book is bound as a hardcover wrapped in Basquiat's 1982 painting Red Skull and housed in a canvas-textured clamshell case printed with Untitled (Crown) from 1988. Tributes throughout come from figures who crossed paths with Basquiat or built on his legacy, among them Warhol, Haring, George Condo, and Lenny Kravitz. Bischofberger outlived the artist he represented by decades. Here, the handwritten notes his contemporaries left behind outlive them both.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Assouline","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44241337778241,"sku":"9781649804785","price":1400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0248\/6216\/files\/basquiat-assouline-5.jpg?v=1784651364","url":"https:\/\/shop.uncrate.com\/products\/basquiat-the-world-of-jean-michel","provider":"Uncrate","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
