Description
Published on the occasion of the landmark exhibition that toured from Cincinnati to San Francisco, Newport Beach, Baltimore, and Tampa (2004–2005), Beautiful Losers became the defining document of a loose, pre-Instagram generation of artists working across skate culture, graffiti, indie music, DIY publishing, and lowbrow art. Edited by Aaron Rose and Christian Strike, with essays by Jeffrey Deitch, Carlo McCormick, and others, it captures a moment when street culture entered the institutional art world without losing its raw edges.
Featuring work by Shepard Fairey, Barry McGee, Ed Templeton, Margaret Kilgallen, Mike Mills, Chris Johanson, Jo Jackson, and more, this volume is both exhibition catalog and cultural artifact. For collectors of contemporary art, street art, zines, skate culture, and early-2000s visual movements, this remains one of the essential reference books—clean copies are increasingly harder to find in collectible condition.
A foundational title for any serious street culture or contemporary art collection.
