In this important volume, dedicated to an exhibition at the Brant Foundation's new Manhattan headquarters featuring the artist's key works, Basquiat's art returns to its East Village roots, contextualised for the first time in decades in the very neighbourhood that was one of his greatest inspirations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDieter Buchhart, a leading Basquiat scholar and curator, brings together 100 of the artist's most important works, focusing on the best examples of the many themes that influenced Basquiat's work, including jazz, anatomy, sports figures, comics, classic literature, the African diaspora and art history. The exhibition partially re-creates three of the artist's early critical exhibitions, including an exhibition of Basquiat's paintings and drawings of heads at the Robert Miller Gallery; his major canvases from the 1982 exhibition at the Gagosian Gallery in Los Angeles; and Basquiat's solo exhibition at the Fun Gallery in the East Village. Buchhart also considers in depth the artist's so-called stretcher bar paintings, in which the normally hidden wooden supports of stretched canvases are exposed, works that have not yet been fully explored by scholars. In doing so, Buchhart offers a critical assessment of the enduring importance and legacy of the artist's oeuvre.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Mags","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51634111578450,"sku":"RI1543","price":25200.0,"currency_code":"HUF","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0906\/1439\/9314\/files\/Basquiat.png?v=1770119326","url":"https:\/\/solinfo.hu\/en\/products\/jean-michel-basquiat-the-iconic-work-book","provider":"Solinfo Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
