A few months later, the dealer Annina Nosei offered Basquiat an independent space in which to prepare work for her September group show, Public Address. He was only 20. Between the world of spray-painted poetry and what critic Peter Schjeldahl called "New York big-painting aesthetics" lies a fantastic coming-of-age: Jean-Michel Basquiat: 1981: The Studio of the Street includes paintings and drawings on everything from note cards to sheet metal to a leather jacket and conventional canvas. In them, as throughout his career, Basquiat married an exuberant spontaneity and art-brut sensibility with a firm command of not only art materials but

5.0 out of 5 stars BOOM FOR REAL
Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2007
This book satisfies a great need for an authentic, raw, yet sensitive collection about Jean Michel Basquiat, as a person and an artist. I value this book for more than its appearance, which is so well done. It's quality helps to preserve the legacy of his life and work. The collaborators did a fantastic job.

3.0 out of 5 stars Artist's Mom
Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2009
The book itself is wonderful but it was given as a gift and the front cover was damaged which I didn't realize until it was opened. That bothered me because the book should be out in the open for everyone to enjoy and it's damage is noticeable. If that hadn't happened, this would definitely be given 5 stars!!
