Catalogue of an exhibition of paintings and drawings held at the Whitechapel Art Gallery, London, November-December 1958.

An essential addition to anyone's art library. Many good colour reproductions, (and 4 photographs of the artist at the back). I found the text highly opinionated, but occasionally useful, describing the paintings and interpretations of the pictures. There was a bullet point biography at the back of the book, but the text didn't say much about Basquiat himself (I learned more about the artist form the book "Widow Basquiat A Memoir").
