Description

A portfolio of photographs taken of Basquiat by Nicholas Taylor.

  • Sold as a set of 9 photographs.
  • Nicholas Taylor (American, b. 1953).
  • Photographs taken in 1979, printed in 2014.
  • Part of a limited edition of 10, plus 3 artist proofs.
  • Each work hand-signed and numbered by Taylor.
  • Featured within is a photo taken by Basquiat of Taylor with his faced bandaged.
  • Photogravure on Hahnemühle Bütten 350g paper.
  • Each is presented matted.


While Basquiat often provided glimpses into his conflicted character through his own art, Taylor’s photograph offers an intimate, and perhaps more honest, portrait from the outside. The clever exploration of light and dark reveals the dichotomies that divided the artist; both his fragile and playful, tender and brazen sides are unveiled at only 19 years old. A soft glow is cast across Basquiat’s face, communicating a tenderness and affection that only a close friend could capture.
