This catalogue was issued to accompany an exhibition of Basquiat's paintings at the Gallery Bruno Bischofberger in Zurich, Switzerland from 19 January to 16 February 1985. One of Basquiat's most enthusiastic promoters, Bischofberger introduced him to Warhol in 1982. \"Typical of the new scene was the Zurich-based dealer and collector Bruno Bischofberger, who dealt Andy Warhol's work and who briefly took on the exclusive rights for Jean-Michel Basquiat. Once a month he flew Concorde to New York, where he went on whirlwind shopping sprees, buying art in previously unprecedented volumes from galleries and studios\" (Emmerling, p. 9).
