ANDY WARHOL. KEITH HARING. FAB 5 FREDDIE. DEBBIE HARRY. JULIAN SCHNABEL. Jean-Michel Basquiat's transition from the subways to the chic gallery spaces of Manhattan brought the artist into the company of many of New York's established and aspiring stars. In 1988, unable to deal with the demands that his new fame brought, Basquiat, the most successful black visual artist in history, died from a heroin overdose at age twenty-seven. Widow Basquiat is an exploration of the artist as seen through the eyes of his muse, Suzanne. It is a love story like no other. Review: Compelling Read - I heard about this book on a Good Read on radio 4, so thought I’d have a go. I wasn’t disappointed. I liked the way this book was written, it had a poetic feel to it. It was moving, and sad in places and gives a touching account of a beautiful life. Review: A compulsive read! - Read this compulsively after hearing it reviewed on Radio 4’s A Good Read. An excellent book which gives an insight into the club and drugs scene in NYC in the 70s and 80s. Brought back a few memories for me of that time, even though I wasn’t there, I’m of the same generation. Highly recommended short read. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 135,707 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 308 in Biographies of Artists, Architects & Photographers (Books) 772 in Individual Artists 1,471 in Theatre & Performance Artist Biographies | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 865 Reviews | ## Images ![Widow Basquiat: A Memoir (Canons) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81hDcLPNwmL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Compelling Read *by K***Z on 28 March 2024* I heard about this book on a Good Read on radio 4, so thought I’d have a go.
