The Iconic Relationship Told in Andy Warhol’s Words and Pictures 🖼️🎨

Andy Warhol, the elder statesman of Pop Art, and Jean-Michel Basquiat, the brilliant young star who ascended from the graffiti scene, created an extraordinary partnership that was both personal and professional. Their collaborative artworks are legendary, but this book goes a step further, revealing the emotional depth and complexity of their bond through Andy Warhol's own eyes. As a meticulous documentarian of his life, Warhol extensively photographed Basquiat and their shared world. The result is a collection of hundreds of previously unpublished photographs, offering an intimate glimpse into their lives and the vibrant energy of 1980s downtown New York City.

312 pages 📖

Fascinating fact: One of the most famous collaborations between Warhol and Basquiat was a series of paintings where Warhol would paint a brand logo or other pop art image, and Basquiat would then add his signature expressive and neo-expressionist elements.

This luxurious volume, produced in collaboration with The Andy Warhol Foundation and Jean-Michel Basquiat's estate, is more than just a photo album. The photographs are accompanied by entries from the legendary Andy Warhol Diaries, offering candid and often sardonic insights into their friendship. You'll also find selected collaborative artworks and a wealth of rare ephemera. The book is a time capsule, featuring a star-studded cast of characters from Madonna to Grace Jones, Keith Haring to Fela Kuti, all of whom were part of this incredible era.
