BASQUIAT
(BASQUIAT, JEAN-MICHEL). Buchhart, Dieter, Glenn O'Brien, Jean-Louis Prat & Susanne Reichling. Basel, SWITZERLAND & Ostfildern, GERMANY: Fondation Beyeler & Hatje Cantz, 2010. Later Printing. 4to. Cloth in Illustrated Jacket. Artist Monograph. Fine/Fine. lii + 188pp, profusely illustrated in color and b&w. With a chronology. Text in English. "The first African-American artist to attain art superstardom, Jean-Michel Basquiat created a huge oeuvre of drawings and in the space of just eight years. Through his street roots in graffiti, Basquiat helped to establish new possibilities for figurative and expressionistic painting, breaking the white male stranglehold of Conceptual and Minimal art, and foreshadowing, among other tendencies, Germany's Junge Wilde movement. It was not only Basquiat's art but also the details of his biography that made his name legendary - his early years as "Samo" (his graffiti artist moniker), his friendships with Andy Warhol, Keith Haring and Madonna, and his tragically early death from a heroin overdose. This superbly produced retrospective publication assesses Basquiat's luminous career with commentary by, among others, Glenn O'Brien, and one hundred and sixty color reproductions of the work." This is the substantial catalogue published in conjunction with a massive 2011 Jean-Michel Basquiat retrospective exhibition held at Basel's Fondation Beyeler. A brand new, most handsome example of a later printing of the English language hardbound edition.

WRITING THE FUTURE: BASQUIAT AND THE HIP-HOP GENERATION
(BASQUIAT, JEAN-MICHEL) Edited by Liz Munsell, Greg Tate. Text by J. Faith Almiron, Dakota DeVos, Hua Hsu, Carlo McCormick. MFA Publications, I00200424, 2020. 9.5 x 10.75 in. Hardbound. New/No Jacket - As Issued.
How hip-hop culture and graffiti electrified the art of Jean-Michel Basquiat and his contemporaries in 1980s New York.
In the early 1980s, art and writing labeled as graffiti began to transition from New York City walls and subway trains onto canvas and into art galleries. Young artists who freely sampled from their urban experiences and their largely Black, Latinx and immigrant histories infused the downtown art scene with expressionist, pop and graffiti-inspired compositions.
Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960–88) became the galvanizing, iconic frontrunner of this transformational and insurgent movement in contemporary American art, which resulted in an unprecedented fusion of creative energies that defied longstanding racial divisions. Writing the Future features Basquiat’s works in painting, sculpture, drawing, video, music and fashion, alongside works by his contemporaries—and sometimes collaborators—A-One, ERO, Fab 5 Freddy, Futura, Keith Haring, Kool Koor, LA2, Lady Pink, Lee Quiñones, Rammellzee and Toxic. Throughout the 1980s, these artists fueled new directions in fine art, design and music, reshaping the predominantly white art world and driving the now-global popularity of hip-hop culture.
Writing the Future, published to accompany a major exhibition, contextualizes Basquiat’s work in relation to his peers associated with hip-hop culture. It also marks the first time Basquiat’s extensive, robust and reflective portraiture of his Black and Latinx friends and fellow artists has been given prominence in scholarship on his oeuvre. With contributions from Carlo McCormick, Liz Munsell, Hua Hsu, J. Faith Almiron and Greg Tate, Writing the Future captures the energy, inventiveness and resistance unleashed when hip-hop hit the city.
A brand new example of this now out of print gem.

First Edition. 11 1/2 x 12". Cloth in Pictorial Dust Jacket. Photography Monograph. New/New. 176 pages, 75 illustrations in black and white. 978-1-59711-5643
"Renowned for his Harlem street scenes and expressive portraits, Dawoud Bey continues his ongoing series on African American history focusing on the landscape to create a portrait of the early African American presence in the United States. "Elegy" brings together Bey’s three landscape series to date - "Night Coming Tenderly, Black (2017)", "In This Here Place (2021)", and "Stoney the Road (2023)" - elucidating the deep historical memory still embedded in the geography of the United States. Bey takes viewers to the historic Richmond Slave Trail in Virginia, where Africans were marched onto auction blocks; to the plantations of Louisiana, where they labored; and along the last stages of the Underground Railroad in Ohio, where fugitives sought self-emancipation. Essays by the exhibition’s curator, Valerie Cassel Oliver, and scholars LeRonn P. Brooks, Imani Perry, and Christina Sharpe illuminate the work. By interweaving these bodies of work into an elegy in three movements, Bey doesn’t merely evoke history, he retells it through historically grounded images that challenge viewers to go beyond seeing and imagine lived experiences. A brand new example additionally SIGNED by photographer Dawoud Bey.

Over the past decade, Frank Bowling has enjoyed belated attention and celebration, including a major Tate Britain retrospective in 2019. Born in British Guyana in 1934, Bowling arrived in England in his late teens, and began his career at the Royal College of Art. During his time at the RCA, he studied alongside David Hockney and Peter Blake and became involved in the British Pop Movement of the 1950’s and 1960’s. Aided by a Guggenheim Fellowship, Bowling moved to New York in 1966. Following a solo exhibition at the Whitney in 1971 (in the same period as shows featuring Melvin Edwards, Jack Whitten, and Alma Thomas), Bowling met influential critic Clement Greenberg, who became a regular visitor to the artist’s studio and a major influence on his practice. With Greenberg’s advice and encouragement, any lingering doubts about his commitment to Modernism were abandoned, and Bowling began to progress further toward pure abstraction, removing all recognizable imagery to focus on process, materials and color. Bowling has developed a unique and virtuosic abstract style that combines aspects of American painterly abstraction with a treatment of light and space that consciously recollects the great English landscape painters Gainsborough, Turner and Constable. A brand new, pristine example of this lovely hardbound catalogue produced in conjunction with a 2022 Marc Selwyn Fine Art exhibition of works on paper.
