Desparately Seeking Basquiat

Jean-Michel Basquiat is one of the few artists who have achieved mythic status. Desperately Seeking Basquiat lets readers explore the most significant locations of his life. We discover some unexpected places: Basquiat spent time in Modena, Italy, and a lot of time in Zurich and loved detox trips to the Far East and Hawaii; this is far from just a NewfYork story. For anyone wanting to know more about the man behind some of the most iconic art of the 20th Century, it’s indispensable. Author: Ian Castello-Cortez 128pp., 5x7 hardcover ISBN: 9783943330458
