In this important volume, devoted to an exhibition at the Brant Foundation in their newly opened Manhattan outpost featuring the artist’s key works, Basquiat’s art returns to its East Village roots, contextualized for the first time in decades in the very neighborhood that served as one of his greatest inspirations.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDieter Buchhart, noted Basquiat scholar and curator, brings together one hundred of the artist’s most important works, focusing on the best examples of the many subjects that informed Basquiat’s work, from jazz, anatomy, sports figures, comics, classical literature, the African diaspora, and art history. The exhibition partially restages three of the artist’s critical early shows, including an exhibition of the artist’s paintings and drawings of heads at Robert Miller Gallery; his most important canvases from Gagosian Gallery’s 1982 show in Los Angeles; and Basquiat’s solo show at Fun Gallery in the East Village. Buchhart also considers in-depth the artist’s so-called stretcher bar paintings, in which the normally hidden wooden supports for stretched canvases are exposed, works that have yet to be explored at length by scholars. In so doing, Buchhart offers a critical assessment of the enduring importance and legacy of the artist’s work.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SMELL OF PAPER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49098703012172,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0852\/9979\/0156\/files\/jean-michel-basquiat-the-iconic-work_0.jpg?v=1732460771"},{"product_id":"simone-rocha","title":"Simone Rocha","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe first comprehensive book on the work of Simone Rocha, beloved Irish designer.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSimone Rocha emerged from the prestigious Central Saint Martins M.A. and upon the presentation of her first collection in 2010, and quickly garnered an instant following amongst fashion insiders and taste-makers, Adrian Joffe of Dover Street Market was an early fan. Borne from the deep and lush nature of her native home in Ireland, her designs are highly feminine, captivating, and infinitely dreamy. Her vision is one that seems to have no bounds—her highly singular designs have since reached a new set of followers that have since grown to include stylishly rebellious A-Listers like Rhianna, FKA Twigs, Billie Eilish, and Chloë Sevigny along with a devoted set of fashion darlings who don Rocha’s platform brogues, voluminous, almost gothic, dresses, and pearl shaped handbags in cities across the globe. Collaborations with brands like Moncler, H\u0026amp;M, and J Brand have also extended the visibility of her work on a serious level. This book is a long, pensive gaze into Rocha's subversive world, one heavily inspired by the work of Louise Bourgeois and, undeniably, Rei Kawakubo of Commes des Garcons. A natural bookmaker (she’s published an impressive number of incredibly collectible zines), it is insightfully edited, designed, and crafted, gathering catwalk images, shadowy editorials, and backstage imagery in a manner that stays true to the very nature of the dark and twisting world she’s created. An absolute essential for any fashion-lover’s bookshelf, this monograph is highly anticipated and set to follow in the footsteps of successful authors Rizzoli has published in the past including Ann Demuelemeester, Rick Owens, Jun Takahashi, and Maison Martin Margiela.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SMELL OF PAPER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49098715398476,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0852\/9979\/0156\/files\/simone-rocha_0.jpg?v=1732461326"},{"product_id":"patti-smith-before-easter-after-coming-soon","title":"Patti Smith: Before Easter After (coming soon)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA new trade publication of Before Easter After, originally published in a limited edition at $1,000.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHundreds of rarely seen images by legendary photographer Lynn Goldsmith offer an intimate portrait of rock ’n’ roll icon Patti Smith during a transformative moment in her career.
