Jean-Michel Basquiat: Made on Market Street

The coffee table book "Jean-Michel Basquiat: Made on Market Street" was published on the occasion of the first-ever exhibition devoted exclusively to works created by the artist in Los Angeles. Basquiat stayed regularly in Southern California from November 1982 to May 1984, where he worked in Venice on about a hundred paintings, numerous works on paper and six screen prints.

"Made on Market Street," edited by Fred Hoffman and Larry Gagosian, looks back at this crucial period and brings together nearly thirty works, including some of his most important paintings. The book includes reproductions of the exhibited works and archival materials, including installation photographs from the 1982 and 1983 exhibitions at the Larry Gagosian Gallery, historical documents and exhibition reviews, as well as previously unpublished photographs of Basquiat in his studio.

The book includes a conversation between Larry Gagosian, Fred Hoffman, filmmaker Tamra Davis and the artist's sisters, Lisane Basquiat and Jeanine Heriveaux, as well as an essay in which Hoffman reflects on the works Basquiat made in Los Angeles and addresses the complex symbolism and restless innovation that characterize his oeuvre.
