Nearly four decades after his untimely death at twenty-seven, the raw and layered work of Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-1988) is among the most recognizable in the world. With his paintings selling for over $100 million, the audacious American artist defied the critics, joining the league of Picasso, Modigliani and Munch. Through more than one hundred interviews — with family, friends, lovers, gallery owners, collectors, musicians, academics and other artists — 'Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Making of an Icon' weaves an illuminating tapestry of Basquiat’s personal life and history, his commercial and critical resurrection, and his enduring legacy. The first in-depth biography of the artist in twenty-five years, Doug Woodham authors this essential edition by Thames & Hudson.
