Jean-michel Basquiat: The Iconic Work

Jean-Michel Basquiat, artist and art world provocateur, took New York City by storm with his powerful, complex works that relentlessly addressed charged sociopolitical issues such as race, police brutality, and structural inequality. In this important volume, dedicated to an exhibition at the newly opened Brant Foundation in Manhattan that features the artist’s key works, Basquiat’s art returns to its East Village roots, contextualized for the first time in decades in the same neighborhood that served as one of his greatest inspirations.
