Jean-Michel Basquiat, a prominent figure in the New York art scene of the 1980s, had a lesser-known but incredibly productive period in California between November 1982 and May 1984. During this time, Basquiat stayed in Venice at Larry Gagosian’s Market Street home and later established his own studio in the area. This creative stint in Los Angeles resulted in approximately 100 paintings, works on paper, and six silkscreen editions in collaboration with Fred Hoffman, a publisher and curator.

One of the standout pieces from this period is “Hollywood Africans,” a vibrant acrylic and oil stick composition on bright yellow canvas. This mixed-media artwork features a self-portrait of Basquiat alongside fellow graffiti icons Toxic and Rammellzee, who were viewed as the “new Black celebrities” at the time.

The upcoming book “Made on Market Street,” published by Rizzoli and Gagosian, delves into this overlooked chapter of Basquiat’s life and artistic practice. The book includes archival documents such as reviews of Basquiat’s exhibitions in 1982 and 1983, press releases, and invitations to opening receptions. It also features never-before-seen photos of the artist in his studio, providing a unique glimpse into his creative process.

“Madeon Market Street” serves as a companion to the comprehensive monograph of Basquiat’s work, shedding light on a period that is often overshadowed by his more well-known New York years. The book includes conversations with Fred Hoffman, Larry Gagosian, filmmaker Tamra Davis, and Basquiat’s sisters, Lisane Basquiat and Jeanine Heriveaux, offering valuable insights into the life and work of this influential artist.

For art enthusiasts and Basquiat fans alike, “Made on Market Street” is a must-have addition to their collection. It offers a deeper understanding of Basquiat’s artistic evolution and showcases the creativity and innovation that defined his time in California. Pre-order your copy now to explore this fascinating chapter in the life of one of the most iconic artists of the 20th century.
