Contents:
Publisher: Kestner-Gesellschaft (Hanover, Germany)
Exhibition: This art book was published on the occasion of Basquiat's solo exhibition held at the Kestner-Gesellschaft from November 28, 1986 to January 25, 1987.
A 105-page catalog (softcover) introducing many of Basquiat's famous works with numerous color illustrations.
The title "To Repel Ghosts" was inspired by the everyday function of African art to "repel ghosts," and Basquiat repeatedly used this phrase in his paintings as a protective prayer against colonial violence.
