Jean-Michel Basquiat Show
Author: Glenn O'Brien
Published on the occasion of the major exhibition at the Milan Triënnale, this monograph covers the entire artistic development of Basquiat, through over one-hundred and sixty works, a rich photographic section including unpublished material and critical text.
An emblematic protagonist of the New York downtown art scene of the 1980's Basquiat became a legend in his own brief but prolific lifetime. Even now, almost twenty years after his death, his works and lexicon of symbols, subjects and themes continue to intrigue the art world. Basquiat's artistic output took shape in the span of a single decade, from 1978 to 1988.
Nevertheless, his frenetic activity resulted in the production af an enormous body of work characterized by an artistic style that marked him as one of the great exponents of the period. Contrary to many observers of his life who considered him a primitive, 'wild child" talent, Basquiat's work was informed by a long-standing and sophisticated interest in the devices of painting.

Young, Sleek, And Full Of Hell
Edited by Aaron Rose. Introduction by Carlo McCormick. Interviews by Brendan Fowler.
It was a gallery . . . allegedly. In 1992, Ludlow Street in New York's Lower East Side was just gutter of low-rent tenements with a large demographic of artists, musicians, film-makers, designers, writers, and hoodlums. At the heart of it was Alleged Gallery--the most famous street-style gallery in America. A venue for art and artists always a few steps ahead of the object itself, this peripheral gallery launched--between 1992 and 2002--the international careers of countless emerging artists. From the outset, the gallery was always something of a hypothetical. The disclaimer was inherent in the name: Alleged. With the first sandwich board signs announcing its arrival, there was no mistaking the iconoclastic agenda. This was pure Carney, an exhibition space as conceived for the art world as it might exist in less savory social margins. Between the art, music, words and pictures, sex, drugs, and drinking, it became a democratic, all-inclusive venue for young emerging artists, representing an attitude about unlimited and irreverent freedom.
In Young, Sleek, and Full of Hell, the history of the art, exhibitions, and events is told for the first time through spontaneous behind-the-scenes photographs and exclusive interviews with the artists, musicians, designers, models, actors, film-makers, curators, gallerists, and collectors who comprised this early art scene. Alleged Gallery defines an entire generation of art-making before it made the full transition from the streets to the galleries.
Young, Sleek, and Full of Hell features over 100 artists who exhibited at the gallery, including: Mark Gonzales, Ed Templeton, Thomas Campbell, Diann Bauer, Jeremy Henderson, Glen E. Friedman, David Aaron, Daniel Higgs, Phil Frost, Spike Jonze, Andy Jenkins, Sofia Coppola, Andre Razo, Chris Johanson, Tobin Yelland, Ari Marcopolis, Barry McGee, Margaret Kilgallen, Mike Mills, Shepard Fairey, Tom Sachs, Susan Cianciolo, Sonic Youth, Courtney Love, Unsane, Surgery, Railroad Jerk, Cibo Matto, The Boredoms, Kim Gordon, Thurston Moore, Jim Jarmusch, Harmony Korine, Mark Borthwick, Cameron Jamie, and Terry Richardson.

Artists and Prints
Essay by Deborah Wye
The creativity of the most celebrated artists of the modern period has been enriched and expanded by their work in the print medium. Exploiting the potential of such techniques as woodcut, lithography, etching and screenprint, as well as other processes, these artists have added immeasurably to their expressive vocabularies. Many have availed themselves of the expertise offered by master printers in professional workshops and have benefited from the fruits of such collaboration. They have found inspiration in traditional printed formats, such as portfolios and illustrated books, and have used them to explore thematic interests. As a result of these experiences, printmaking has exerted influence on their work in other mediums and has become integral to their creative thinking as a whole. Finally, the fact that prints are made in editions rather than as single impressions has enabled these artists to reach a much broader audience than would otherwise be possible.
This volume includes the work of artists from the late 19th century to the present and demonstrates the imaginative ways in which they used print techniques. The potential of the woodcut was explored by Paul Gauguin and Edvard Munch, and the woodcut later became a major preoccupation of the German Expressionists Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Emil Nolde and Max Beckmann; lithographed posters were a specialty of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec; Pablo Picasso and Joan Miro experimented with drypoint, etching, and lithography, among other techniques, in new and original ways; Andy Warhol and Jasper Johns exploited the painterly aspects of lithography and the commercial look of screenprint. The current generation of artists, among them Terry Winters and Kiki Smith, has gravitated to printed art as an essential aspect of their creative practice, with major bodies of work already produced.
Including more than 200 illustrations, this publication is organized as an unfolding historical narrative with a focus on individual artists, each with a succinct text describing his or her relationship to printmaking. Bibliographic references cite the latest scholarship in the field.
An index of artists, printers, and publishers reflects the involvement of various partners in the printmaking enterprise. All works reproduced are from The Museum of Modern Art's extraordinary collection of over 50,000 prints, the finest of its kind in the world.
