Also a video:

New Taschen Book of Basquiat Coming Soon...


A short summary of the book:
"From the streets of New York to the walls of its most prominent galleries, young graffiti artist Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-1988) was catapulted to international fame in his early 20s and died of a drug-overdose at 27. The subject of a feature film by fellow artist Julian Schnabel, Basquiat is one of the most admired artists to emerge from the 1980s art boom. This book explores his short but prolific career."

Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Child

A 2001 documentary movie based on the short-lived life of Jean-Michel Basquiat, a street artist. It's a must see!

Also there is a less successful 1998 movie directed by Julian Schnabel - not recommended.



















Margaret Kilgallen



A perfect street-painter died in 2001 (age 33) only three weeks after she gave birth to her daughter. A very touching and inspiring story.
