This is all you need to know: “Written by Leonhard Emmerling, Basquiat Basquiat Book is forthcoming from Taschen’s 25 series. “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.” Drops March 15, 2011.

Done and done. Good work Taschen.

Always interesting to keep that in perspective, especially wondering what a visionary like Jean-Michel Basquiat would have been doing today. What he left behind is remarkably legendary, and he was a true artist in every sense.
