Barry McGee: Reproduction

Hardcover English 216 pages 24.8 × 31 cm 1.45 kg

Description

Published by Damiani in 2022, “Reproduction” is a vital survey of Barry McGee’s multifaceted artistic universe. A pioneer of the Mission School in San Francisco, McGee (also known as Twist) has successfully transitioned from the unsanctioned walls of the city to the world’s leading galleries. The book documents his signature “clusters”—dense arrangements of framed drawings and found photos—alongside his vibrant geometric patterns and iconic caricatures of down-and-out urban dwellers. “Reproduction” highlights McGee’s commitment to folk-art traditions and the energy of the street, showcasing how he transforms everyday detritus into sophisticated, high-art installations. It is an essential volume for understanding the intersection of graffiti, graphic design, and contemporary painting.
