Basquiat The Modena Paintings Jean-Michel Basquiat Collection

About the productJapanese

An exhibition catalogue that brings together eight of Basquiat's most important works, showing the graffiti artist's journey to independence as a painter.

A collection of works by Jean-Michel Basquiat, published in 2023, focuses on eight paintings that Basquiat created during his visit to Modena, Italy, in the summer of 1982 for his first solo exhibition in Europe.

During his stay in Modena, which lasted only a few days, Basquiat created a series of large-format paintings measuring 4-5m in length and over 2m in height, surpassing his previous works in both scale and technique. These works were the catalyst for Basquiat, who had previously painted graffiti on the streets of Manhattan, to begin painting on canvas. Due to various circumstances, his first solo exhibition in Modena did not take place, but the eight works are considered to be extremely important and among his most outstanding works.

More than 40 years later, in 2023, the Fondation Beyeler, based in Basel, Switzerland, will reunite for the first time eight of Basquiat's masterpieces, currently held in private collections around the world, in an exhibition. This catalogue brings together this important moment in the Basquiat story.
