The first major exhibition of the artist's notebooks, Basquiat: The Unknown Notebooks features 160 pages of these rarely seen documents, along with related works on paper and large-scale paintings influenced by comics, advertising, children's sketches, Pop art, hip-hop, politics, and everyday life.
