JeanMichel Basquiat Eleanor Nairne Hans Werner Holzwarth 9783836550376 Books Reviews

• I was looking forward to this massive tome, but it was supremely disappointing. I thought it would be well curated and designed like their Helmut Newton SUMO book, it’s the same size. But it is just awful. Cheaply made, the pages are like pages out of 90s fashion magazines and the images on the pages are just thrown together haphazardly. Many images are lost in the crease or divided. The overall design of the book looks rushed and not well thought. There are many other great Basquait collections, you could purchase 2-3 of them for this price and get a much better product.
• I agree with the reviews above! Esp remarkable is the large Taschen format weighing in at 14 pounds -full of lush, colorful mark-making and JMB images. I have many of the previous hardcover books. Scrap the elusive, over-priced raisonne', this one takes the prize at the pre-order cost of $106 !!
• I am an artist and a collector of artist monographs. This new (12/2018) volume is a wonderful book! It is a heavy monster and was professionally packed - a huge shipping box, an inner box that held the book, a slipcase outer covering with a handle, then the book itself. It's the first time I've seen this done.
  The book itself is a masterpiece of Basquiat's works from 1979 until his death. It has several essays on his life, style of painting and critiques. The works are displayed in high detail - several are foldouts. The color and reproductions are terrific. The paper each page is printed on is heavy, I'd guess 65lbs. or so. That's a new for me as well.
  I would highly recommend this monograph to any art student, Basquiat fan or collector. How anyone can give it just a two-star review is beyond me.
• I had the chance to review a few books before made this purchase and I have to say this is the best book! I was able to see the Basquiat exhibit in Paris at the Foundation of Louis Vuitton who also has a book. That book is nice but like what other people have said the quality is not that good. Plus a lot of the paintings in that book are in this one. This book also has more paintings of works that will not be scene due to them being held by private collectors. One example is the famed Devil painting. You wont see this in the Louis Vuitton book but you would see it in this book. This is a great book and I would recommend it as staple for your coffee table.
• Came with the glue mark on the cover. Under the sheet, there was something sticky that left dark mark on the beautiful yellow cover... Other than that, books meets my expectations, but definitely that ruins my experience.
  
  Book came delayed and I had many errands due to travel and forgot to complain about it on time, now it's too late to return.
• Extraordinary! Huge, lush, stop-looking-for-other-Basquiat-monographs-quality book. Now I just need Taschen XXLs for Twombly, Pollock and Kline. Get it.
• This is, by far, one of the best monologues on Jean Michel Basquiat put out by Taschen! Heavy paper stock with fantastic color plates! A+++
• I'm truly satisfied with my order, thank you!
