JEAN MICHEL BASQUIAT. 1985.

NYC: Mary Boone, 1985
28 x 26.5cm, 28pp plus wrappers. Exhibition catalogue of Basquiat’s last exhibition with Boone – after the previous year’s amazingly successful launch at the same gallery – displaying numerous full page, full colour illustrations of works are contained in the handsome publication. We understand that after leaving Boone’s Gallery for good (“I had the honor of phoning Mary and telling her that Jean Michel only wants to be with me” – Bischofberger stated as quoted in Hoban 1998) Boone dumped most of her remaining catalogues from the two shows out of pique hence making this a very rare item. Fine.
