Basquiat Review: if you can, buy the much larger hardcover copy of this book - As other reviewers have said, buy the much larger hardcover copy of this book. I bought the paperback (at about 1/3 of the price) but the reproductions of the artwork are a little too small. This book is really about Basquiat's artwork, which is fine. It does include on pp. 26-27 a full copy and a detail of "Philistines," (1982), which in October, 1983: "Basquiat's painting "The Philistines," (sic) is included in the exhibition "Expressive Painting after Picasso," Fondation (sic) Beyeler, Basel, Switzerland. He is shown alongside artists such as Joan Miro, Jean Dubuffet, Willem de Kooning and Jackson Pollock. Basquiat's work appears on the cover of the exhibition catalogue." From "Basquiat: Boom For Real," (2017), Edited by Dieter Buchhart and Eleanor Nairne, with Lotte Johnson, page 274. If you want get the artwork and some background information about Basquiat, his life and times, buy "Basquiat: Boom For Real," which is available at desertcart for $37.42, shipped. Jean-Michel Basquiat, (BASS-KEY-AH), born 12/22/60, Brooklyn, New York, died 8/12/88 (27), Manhattan, N.Y. In about 1973, (when he was 13), his mother was committed to a mental institution. Looking at JMB's works, you can see the influence of his mother ("Gray's Anatomy" book she gave him in the hospital after he was hit by a car at age seven), and I believe her difficulties deeply affected him. Review: Very good compilation of Basquiat - I live in Spain and received the book very fast. I was very excited about see more pictures about this young artist who died so soon. The book was in perfect conditions, and I enjoy it a lot. I bought another book of basquiat from Taschen ed. but is not as good as this one. It has less pictures and less interesting paintings. I strongly recommend this book. In order to make a small complaint I'd love to have seen more pictures of the paintings made in collaboration with Andy Warhol. Thank you very much. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #638,508 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #829 in Individual Artist Monographs #1,553 in Arts & Photography Criticism #2,600 in Art History (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (357) | | Dimensions | 8.66 x 7.17 inches | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 1858945194 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1858945194 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 224 pages | | Publication date | February 23, 2010 | | Publisher | Merrell Publishers | ## Images ![Basquiat - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/810o82LLGwL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ if you can, buy the much larger hardcover copy of this book *by B***G on September 23, 2018* As other reviewers have said, buy the much larger hardcover copy of this book.

There is a chapter dedicated to his use of words, well written, insufficient for academics though. The publication is fairly extensive and covers both biographical and critical aspect of this author. ## Frequently Bought Together - Basquiat - Jean-Michel Basquiat. 40th Ed. - Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Explosive Force of the Streets --- ## 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.sc/products/10893660-basquiat](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/10893660-basquiat) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
