Description

A rare and poignant compilation of photography and written anecdotes by American photographer and artist Lee Jaffe captures his close friendship and travels with Jean-Michel Basquiat in 1983. Basquiat and Jaffe connected over reggae music at a mutual friend's art show, forging a bond that resulted in an archive of imagery capturing one of the art world's true legends through an unfiltered lens. This beautiful volume presents snapshots of Basquiat, from his time on a bullet train to Kyoto and behind-the-scenes documentation of his artwork in St. Moritz. The photographs, accompanied by Jaffe's private written memories and anecdotes, offer a unique glimpse into their friendship, collaborations, and travels, revealing the undeniable magnetism of this iconic artist.
