Summary

"Jean-Michel Basquiat was one of the most popular and critically important artists of the late twentieth century, and his impact on contemporary art continues to grow. Through a combination of interviews with the artist, criticism from the artist's lifetime and immediately after, previously unpublished research by the author, and a selection of the most important critical essays on the artist's work, The Basquiat Reader provides a full picture of the artist's views on art and culture, his working process, and the critical significance of his work both then and now"--
