From 1983 to 1985, Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-1988) and Andy Warhol (1928-1987) created around 160 "four-handed" paintings, some of which were among the greatest of their respective careers.
Basquiat admired Warhol as a key figure in the art world, the initiator of a new language and an original relationship with popular culture. In return, Warhol found in Basquiat a renewed interest in painting. With him, he began painting manually again, with a brush. A true visual dialogue developed between them, leading to the creation of works bearing both their names.
Accompanying the exhibition "Basquiat x Warhol, Four Hands," the book revisits this adventure through texts and images. It brings together emblematic paintings by the duo, individual works, and creations by other figures, such as Michael Halsband, Keith Haring, Jenny Holzer, Lady Pink, Kenny Scharf, and others, in order to situate this episode within the New York art scene of the 1980s.
