Description

Published on the occasion of the landmark Beautiful Losers exhibition (2004–2005), this catalogue documents the loose-knit, DIY-driven art movement that grew out of skateboarding, graffiti, indie music, and underground publishing in the 1990s and early 2000s. Edited by Aaron Rose and Christian Strike, the book includes essays by Jeffrey Deitch, Carlo McCormick, and others, along with interviews and artist features.

Artists represented include Jean-Michel Basquiat, Raymond Pettibon, Barry McGee, Ed Templeton, Harmony Korine, Larry Clark, Shepard Fairey, Chris Johanson, Thomas Campbell, and many more — a roll call of figures who blurred the lines between fine art, zines, street graphics, skate culture, and subcultural identity. Lavishly illustrated throughout, the book captures a pivotal cultural moment before “street art” became institutional shorthand.

An essential document of early-2000s contemporary art culture.
