Jean-Michel Basquiat - The Head―The Mind

The Head—The Mind explores artist Michel Basquiat's fascination with the head as a vessel for identity, emotion, and intellect, expressed through raw, gestural lines that capture the tension between inner thought and outer expression. The leather-bound book brings together a carefully curated selection of Basquiat's dynamic and expressive portraits of heads and faces.

With an introduction by Sophia Herivaux, Basquiat's niece, this selection of portraits is accompanied by quotes from interviews and other sources that delve into the logic behind the works' colors, energy, and symbolic complexity.
