"A smart, crackling chronicle of fast game, the '80s art market, [and] the attraction of destruction." -- The Village Voice A New York Times Notable BookThe definitive biography of Jean Michel Basquiat--both a compulsively readable portrait of the artist and a vivid documentation of the 1980s East Village art scene, the graffiti movement, and the art galleries and auction houses that helped fuel his meteoric rise--now back in print with a new introduction by the author. In less than a decade, the prodigious painter Jean-Michel Basquiat went from a teenage graffiti artist to an international art star at the peak of the heady, excessive 1980s art boom. A legend in his own lifetime, Basquiat was a fixture of the downtown scene, full of rock music, couture fashion, outrageous art, and heady drugs. Along the way, Basquiat was involved with several of the time's most infamous personalities, from Keith Haring and Andy Warhol to his brief romantic fling with Madonna.Nearly thirty years after his death, the story of Basquiat's life and art continue to inspire artists across the globe. Known as a defining twentieth-century artist and more successful posthumously than he was in his lifetime -- with international retrospectives, critical acclaim, and million dollar sales -- Basquiat's work has permeated our cultural sphere, from homages paid in hip-hop to references across art and product mediums throughout the country.In Basquiat: A Quick Killing in Art, Hoban paints a skillful portrait not only of the artist but of the era, deftly exploring the graffiti street art movement of the 80s, the culture downtown that formed the backdrop to his career, and the elite galleries and houses that stoked the contagious enthusiasm around his life and art.

An exploration of a significant art: type designing. The twentieth century saw many developments in printing techniques and how fonts were made. Beginning with cold metal type at the start of the century, the industry moved to hot metal type, phototypesetting, and finally digitization. In each phase, certain type designers excelled in harnessing the latest techniques to create beautiful, innovative, and functional new fonts. Against a background story of the evolution of technology, the role of the designer, the rise of the advertising agency, and the changing function of the printer, this book explores thirty-eight key type designers, how they worked, the fonts they designed, and their lasting influence on typography. Here, you will find Frederic Goudy and Edward Johnston, Stanley Morison and Roger Excoffon, Hermann Zapf and Adrian Frutiger, and renowned contemporary designers Neville Brody and Carol Twombly, plus many more. Taken together, the work and working lives of these extraordinary designers chart the radical changes in typography during the twentieth century.
