Die Publikation widmet sich den ausdrucksstarken Selbstporträts von JeanMichel Basquiat und umfasst seine lebenslange intensive Auseinandersetzung mit dem Selbst. In Basquiats Œuvre nimmt das Selbstporträt, eines der großen Themen der Kunstgeschichte, eine entscheidende, noch nicht untersuchte Stellung ein. Jean-Michel Basquiats Selbstporträts zählen zu den Hauptwerken seines radikalen Schaffens. Neben den etwa 50 expliziten Selbstdarstellungen können auch eine Reihe seiner Abbildungen afroamerikanischer Männer als versteckte Wiedergabe seines Selbst verstanden werden. Nicht zuletzt weil Basquiat, selbst betroffen vom alltäglichen Rassismus, sich mit seinen dargestellten Helden, Heiligen und Märtyrern identifizierte. So finden sich seine großen Themen wie Identität, Diskriminierung und Vorurteile bis hin zu Kapitalismus, Markt und Unterdrückung in diesen Schlüsselwerken.

Jean-Michel Basquiat | Xerox is the first concentrated examination of the extraordinary body of work that the artist created using Xerox copies as his principal medium and compositional focal point. These immersive, collaged Xerox paintings epitomize Basquiat’s extraordinary capacity for visual language. Their raw, allover compositions incorporate recycled and transformed signs and markings from the artist’s everyday experiences—including motifs from his earlier artworks. The intricate web of content in this series presages the copy-paste sampling characteristic of the subsequent Internet and post-Internet generations, positioning Basquiat as a pioneer of the pre-digital age.

In the New York of the eighties, Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960–1988) was the first African-American artist to receive international attention. The enormous scope of his oeuvre is inversely proportional to the short, productive period he was given. As the complexity and trailblazing innovative power of his paintings and drawings has been previously discussed at length—this book focuses on the creative aspect of language in Basquiat’s work. With its complex structures, spontaneous rhythms, and sampled, collage-like manifestations appealing to all of the senses, his work was vaulted into the orbit of the Beat Generation’s pop poets and the protagonists of the musical avant-garde. The multitalented Basquiat created a shimmering, syncopated fabric of images and text, which the American curator and critic Robert Storr aptly called “eye rap.” It was this unpretentious, avant-garde and spontaneous way of working with which Jean-Michel Basquiat wrote art history. It was an artistic means for him to respond to the complexity of modern life in the big city.

This carefully reproduced facsimile edition of renowned visual artist Basquiat's eight notebooks provides us a glimpse into the mind of a visionary artist. On nearly every page, readers will ponder over why and how Basquiat chose to string together these specific words and often bizarre phrases. The notebooks function as a sort of incubator for Basquiat's artistic process as well as a finished product in their own right.
