★「傳奇塗鴉大師」尚-米榭．巴斯奇亞作品紀錄集
★100幅巴斯奇亞跨主題重要作品，帶你認識這位美國傳奇藝術家
 
　　美國傳奇藝術家、被譽為「黑人畢卡索」的尚-米榭．巴斯奇亞（Jean-Michel Basquiat）是藝術先驅，他的作品風格強烈且複雜，觸及種族、警察暴力與結構性不平等議題，在紐約掀起一場藝術風暴。
 
　　在這本畫冊當中，著名的巴斯奇亞策展人Dieter Buchhart匯集了巴斯奇亞100幅最重要的作品，包含爵士樂、解剖學、體育、漫畫、古典人物、非洲移民等巴斯奇亞作品中最重要的主題。在這本畫冊中，巴斯奇亞的創作回到了他的藝術根源紐約東村，重現他早期三場最重要的藝術展覽：在Robert Miller Gallery畫廊舉辦的畫展、1982年在洛杉磯Gagosian Gallery展出其最重要的油畫作品，以及巴斯奇亞在紐約東村East Village舉辦的個展。
 
　　作者Dieter Buchhart還深入研究巴斯奇亞的特殊創作「框架畫」（Stretcher Bar Paintings），巴斯奇亞常在支撐畫布的木框架上作畫，以突出畫作的結構特徵，並挑戰塗鴉、街頭藝術與美術創作之間的傳統邊界。想要了解巴斯奇亞，這本作品集是最佳的入門指南。
 

The artist’s most inspired works in one volume.

Jean-Michel Basquiat--artist and art world provocateur--took New York City by storm with his powerful and complex works that relentlessly engaged with charged sociopolitical issues, including race, police brutality, and structural inequity. In this important volume, devoted to an exhibition at the Brant Foundation in their newly opened Manhattan outpost featuring the artist’s key works, Basquiat’s art returns to its East Village roots, contextualized for the first time in decades in the very neighborhood that served as one of his greatest inspirations.

Dieter Buchhart, noted Basquiat scholar and curator, brings together one hundred of the artist’s most important works, focusing on the best examples of the many subjects that informed Basquiat’s work, from jazz, anatomy, sports figures, comics, classical literature, the African diaspora, and art history. The exhibition partially restages three of the artist’s critical early shows, including an exhibition of the artist’s paintings and drawings of heads at Robert Miller Gallery; his most important canvases from Gagosian Gallery’s 1982 show in Los Angeles; and Basquiat’s solo show at 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 for stretched canvases are exposed, works that have yet to be explored at length by scholars. In so doing, Buchhart offers a critical assessment of the enduring importance and legacy of the artist’s work.
