Basquiat

On August 12, 1988, Jean-Michel Basquiat passed away in his apartment in New York City. Before his death, Basquiat experiences significant moments from his life in a kind of nightmare. Accompanying the artist on this strange journey, apart from real... events, are the "monsters" from his paintings. The Italian comic by Fabrizio Luzzati and Gabriele Benefico is not a typical "life flashed before my eyes". It is a conversation between the reader and the distorted mind of a multifaceted creator. We will see the beautiful and terrible moments of the artist's life: whether it be exhibitions with admiring visitors, parties in exclusive New York clubs, or friendships with fellow artists like Keith Haring and Andy Warhol. Having gone through all the significant events steeped in loneliness, sadness, and dissatisfaction with oneself, we ultimately return to that fateful day when Basquiat's life was tragically cut short at the age of only 27.
