Basquiat: The Modena Paintings Friendship Rest is Resistance: A ManifestoReuniting eight key Basquiat works that mark the graffiti artist's transition to painterly autonomy This catalog focuses on eight paintings by Jean Michel Basquiat made in the summer of 1982, when he traveled to Modena, Italy, for one of his first solo exhibitions in Europe at the gallery of Emilio Mazzoli. Within the span of just a few days, Basquiat painted a group of large format paintings that surpassed his previous work in both scale and method.
