WANTED

In what would ultimately be his final year at City-As-School High School, Jean-Michel Basquiat was a major contributor to the class of 1978 yearbook. Along with the cover, at least 3 other pages feature his illustrations, all of which are signed “Basquiat”. Additionally, there is a photograph of Basquiat and a snapshot of one of his and Al Diaz’ SAMO© tags. Later that year he and Diaz would famously appear in The Village Voice, which was the first publication to discuss the SAMO© phenomena.
