‘NEW YORK BEAT Jean-Michel Basquiat in Downtown 81’ Used Book................


This is a visual book based on the film ‘DOWNTOWN 81’ starring Jean-Michel Basquiat.

This is a first edition copy from 2001 with a dust jacket.

Published by Petit Gra Publishing.

This book showcases the works of Jean-Michel Basquiat, a graphic artist from Brooklyn, USA.

Basquiat, the painter who passed away at the age of 27 due to acute drug poisoning.

He was a street painter and a central figure in the downtown art scene of the 1980s.

This book is a visual book based on the legendary film ‘Downtown 81,’ which was filmed in the early 1980s when Basquiat was just 20 years old. The film was shelved due to the bankruptcy of its supporters and remained unseen for about 20 years before finally seeing the light of day.

The content is also fascinating, with Basquiat appearing as the main character in a story that vividly depicts New York's art and music scenes.

It is a fictional story about an artist without money wandering around downtown in pursuit of his dreams.

We hope you will consider purchasing this book.
