| book description |

Published on the occasion of the exhibition, Jean-Michel Basquiat: Art and Objecthood, at Nahmad Contemporary, this book will illuminate the role of found objects and unconventional materials in the Jean- Michel Basquiatâ€™s oeuvre. Basquiat, whose artistic practice has profoundly impacted audiences on an international scale, used objects and media from his environs to proliferate messages of social justice and change. Featuring a breadth of works that the artist made using unconventional painted supports and found-object sculptures, this publication will provide an innovative, in-depth look into the artistâ€™s sculptural practice. In addition to painting and drawing on items within his domestic spacesâ€”refrigerators, chairs, and cabinetsâ€”Basquiat also left his mark on items he encountered on the streetâ€”discarded windows and doors, mirrors, wood boards, and subway tiles. The publication will present new scholarship by leading Basquiat academics and art historians that will explore Basquiatâ€™s use of found objects and materials and their role in addressing issues of social inequality and the politics of race in the United States.
