Signed exhibition catalog: Jean-Michel Basquiat. Limited first edition, an unnumbered example of 1000 issued copies. Zurich, Switzerland: Edition Gallery Bruo Bischofberger, 1985. Red clothbound hardcover with dust jacket, 10.5 x 12, 24 pages with 12 full-page color plates. Signed on the reverse of the title page in blue ballpoint by Basquiat, whose wonderful portrait by Jeannette Montgomery is present on the adjacent page. In fine condition, with trivial wear to the dust jacket. This impressively bound catalog was published to accompany the exhibition of Basquiat’s first one-artist show, which was held at the Bischofberger Gallery in Zurich from January 19th to February 16, 1985. Given his premature death at the age of 27, Jean-Michel Basquiat remains rare and highly coveted across all signed formats.
