These unique compositions-collages of text and gestural painting across a variety of media-quickly made Basquiat one of the most important and widely known artists of the 1980s.

Reading Basquiat: Exploring Ambivalence in American Art Hardcover - 2014
by Jordana Moore Saggese
From the rear cover
"A brilliant book and a great read. At long last, a deeply researched text on Basquiat's project."
--Jonathan Fineberg, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign "Challenging prevailing assumptions about the work of Jean-Michel Basquiat, Saggese argues that Basquiat's practice was as much conceptual as expressive. Reading Basquiat turns the focus from the artist's lifestyle to his work and the ways in which his approach to appropriation and improvisation addressed the artistic discourse of the 1980s. With this book, Saggese changes the conversation about Basquiat and African Americans' participation in contemporary art."
