Where it came from
This publication was released in 1984 in conjunction with the exhibition of Jean-Michel Basquiat’s work at the Centro Andaluz de Arte Contemporáneo in Seville. It serves as a formative early catalogue for the artist, appearing during a period when Basquiat was transitioning from the streets of New York into the global institutional art scene. The catalogue reflects the raw, energetic aesthetic that defined his rise, capturing his synthesis of neo-expressionism, social commentary, and cryptic symbolism during his most prolific years.
The book design emphasizes the immediacy of Basquiat's practice, showcasing a selection of paintings and drawings that illustrate his unique visual lexicon. By documenting an early European institutional engagement, the volume highlights the rapid international interest Basquiat commanded shortly after his debut in the gallery circuit. It is highly regarded by collectors as a primary source document that preserves the context of his work before his market reached its later, unprecedented levels of renown.
