Julian Schnabel makes art out of life. He uses everyday materials in paintings that carry a rich sense of history, he directs movies that paint portraits of artists and other heroes, and he builds his own dream of a Venetian palace in New York. For this art edition of TASCHEN’s oversize limited-edition monograph, made in close collaboration with the artist, Schnabel has individually overpainted each cover by hand, taking his own review of his work as a picture ground for new explorations.
