Peruse Jean-Michel Basquiat's collection of over 1,000 videotapes.

This book invites you inside some of the most creative and inspiring homes of all time. For the 17 artists profiled here, a house or an apartment is not simply a place to eat and sleep; they transform everyday spaces into dynamic reflections of their individual artistic passions. You will gain a deeper appreciation of your favorite artists' work and may just discover a new favorite. Richly illustrated throughout, this petite jacketed hardcover offers a fascinating and inspiring blend of art history, interior design, and armchair travel.

• A FRIENDLY INVITATION TO ART HISTORY: With relatable prose and vibrant illustrations, this book is perfect for anyone looking to casually learn something new.
• INTERIOR DÉCOR INSPIRATION: Readers will surely walk away with ideas for crafting their own creative spaces after reading this book.

Perfect for:

• Artists and art appreciators
• Art history buffs
