This is the catalogue “Jean-Michel Basquiat Drawings” by Jean-Michel Basquiat. It is a limited edition of 1000 copies (ED.1000), numbered and signed by the artist.

The catalogue was produced in association with the Swiss gallerist Bruno Bischofberger and focuses on Basquiat’s drawings. The included works present dense compositions of text, symbols, figures, and diagrammatic elements—key aspects of Basquiat’s visual language—offering insight into his thought process and foundational practice.

Dating from the early 1980s, this publication corresponds to a pivotal period in Basquiat’s career, when he transitioned from graffiti into the international gallery system. It documents the importance of drawing as a core component of his artistic development, preceding and informing his major paintings.

As a signed and numbered edition, this example transcends its role as a publication, standing as a collectible object that embodies both the historical significance and market value associated with Basquiat’s early work.
