Created in 1984 during a period of intense experimentation by the artist, the mixed-media compositions combine the vibrancy of acrylic paint and oil stick with the reproducibility of silkscreen, blurring the lines between painting and printmaking. Taking these richly textured canvases as a point of departure, this book sheds critical light on Basquiat’s radical engagements with replication and reproductive media, situating his work within postmodern concepts of the 1980s—authorship, appropriation, and the blurred boundaries between original and reproduction. Additionally, the volume places Basquiat in conversation with artists who profoundly influenced his visual practice, including Robert Rauschenberg and Andy Warhol, and with pioneering Black printmakers such as Robert Blackburn.
