“This past year has seen an unbelievable quantity of work come out of Jean-Michel. For a while it looked as if the very early stuff was the primo, but no longer.” - Rene Ricard (p. 49)artforum, NOVEMBER 1982
out of stock
In a somewhat wandering essay, Rene Ricard discusses Contemporary Culture, Fame and Artists including Futura 2000, Kenny Scharf and Lee Quinones. Generally focused on the Fun Gallery, the essay ends with a reference to Jean-Michel Basquiat’s forthcoming solo exhibition at Patti Astor’s famed venue. This issue also features an advertisement for Basquiat’s Fun Gallery Exhibition and an advertisement for Annina Nosei which references his shows there.
