Jean-Michel Basquiat Review: MIXED BAG ON BASQUIAT !!! - While I agreed with other reviewers that the cover is quite flimsy, and was especially disturbed by the poor choice of paper. which is not as thick as one would expect, given the caliber of this brilliant artist, I felt that the plates were quite impressive, and was glad that there were many that filled out the full page. I thought the color reproduction was excellent. I get the sense that there are some works here that I am not familiar with. This is a book of two themes, in my mind, one the astounding talent of this young man, but also the tragedy of his brief life. The rich, colorful and exciting palate of his works, contrast with his seemingly bleak existence. On page 171, which is a gate fold, there is a gigantic black and white photo of Basquiat who appears very brooding. But open up that gate fold page and see the magnificence of the work "Offensive Orange" 1982. There is another large black and white photo of Basquiat on page 217, a part of different gate fold, where he is seen in an apartment, in somewhat of a fog, near a TV, and the sadness is so apparent. I've heard it said that he was too sensitive for this world. His great success at such a young age, was not enough to propel him forward apparently. Maybe it was a case of too young, too soon. maybe this overwhelmed him, or frightened him. This book does seem to go on and on with 321 pages. The final small black and white photos at the end of the book seem to confirm the torment of this man's existence, there are barely a few that show him in a slightly sunny mood. One imagines the amazement he might have felt had he lived to see his works valued in the many millions of dollars that has come to pass. Like, Janis Joplin, and many others, a drug overdose snuffed out this man's life, sadly not even reaching his 30s. Imagine the potential a full life could have afforded him, and the joy we would have witnessed !!! I was eagerly awaiting this book, and decided to give it 5 stars, because, despite the flaws, there is so much good here!! Part of the good, is the insight into a man, who had so much to give, from his artistic core, who couldn't outrun his demons. If one only saw the work, and had no exposure to the photos, the experience would be far less meaningful. Certainly this book in not in the same league at the Tony Shafrazi Gallery book or The Jean MIchel Basquait Show, but it is certainly worth a look , and possibly a buy !!! ( hopefully at an affordable price). Review: Fantastic book - Great book, very comprehensive for the show at Louis Vuitton Foundation. I went to the show and this book captures it well. Love this item. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,221,971 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,537 in Collections, Catalogs & Exhibitions #4,119 in Individual Artists (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (202) | | Dimensions | 9.65 x 1.2 x 12.6 inches | | ISBN-10 | 2072801532 | | ISBN-13 | 978-2072801532 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 319 pages | | Publication date | October 28, 2019 | | Publisher | Editions Gallimard | ## Images ![Jean-Michel Basquiat - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71drBukp2iL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ MIXED BAG ON BASQUIAT !!! *by M***R on December 9, 2018* While I agreed with other reviewers that the cover is quite flimsy, and was especially disturbed by the poor choice of paper. which is not as thick as one would expect, given the caliber of this brilliant artist, I felt that the plates were quite impressive, and was glad that there were many that filled out the full page.

I went to the show and this book captures it well. Love this item. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ New Material *by R***T on February 14, 2019* This book shows some drawings and paintings which you will not find in previously published books and the articles which accompany the pictures are well written and informative. No doubt the articles benefit from much of the scholarship which has preceded them. ## Frequently Bought Together - Jean-Michel Basquiat: Foundation Louis Vuitton - Jean-Michel Basquiat. 40th Ed. - Warhol on Basquiat: The Iconic Relationship Told in Andy Warhol’s Words and Pictures (Multilingual Edition) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/82869444-jean-michel-basquiat](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/82869444-jean-michel-basquiat) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
