The Show that never Was Numerous publications and exhibitions have
examined Jean-Michel Basquiat's extensive oeuvre that consists of
more than 3000 works, this catalogue though focuses on eight
paintings only: In the summer of 1982, Basquiat traveled to Modena,
Italy, for one of his first solo exhibitions in Europe at the
gallery of Emilio Mazzoli. Within just a few days, he painted a
group of large-format paintings that surpassed his previous work
not only in terms of their scale. Each at least two by four meters
in size, they mark the transition from graffiti spraying in the
streets of Manhattan to painting on canvas. At the same time, they
reflect an artist coming into his own. The paintings - including
masterpieces that today are considered pivotal and among the most
outstanding of his oeuvre - have never been shown together. This
catalogue revisits this crucial moment of Basquiat's career some 40
years ago and reunites them for the first time.
