This monograph is the first to collect the photographs of
internationally acclaimed multimedia artist Barry McGee. Though
best known for the inventive graphic sensibility of his paintings
and drawings, McGee's use of photography is an essential, often
underappreciated, component of his artistic vision. Captured at all
hours and around the world with whatever camera is at hand, McGee's
images are immediate, casual, intimate, and anarchic all at once.
His work boldly employs geometric shapes, clusters of framed
drawings and paintings, distinctive characters, and found objects
such as empty bottles, surfboards, and wrecked vehicles. Whether
incorporated into his iconic multi-element compositions, or printed
in the innumerable fanzines and artist's books that often accompany
his exhibitions, photographs pervade McGee's practice. Barry McGee:
Photographs provides unique insight into the process of a major
American artist, and is a testament to the immense amount of visual
information McGee has absorbed to build one of the most eclectic
and innovative artistic legacies of our time.

Ari Marcopoulos is an inveterate maker of zines. This project
collects in one volume for the first time a selection of zines by
Marcopoulos, many never before released, providing a unique insight
and overview into an essential part of this influential artist’s
daily practice. Often self-published or created in
collaboration with boutique and independent publishers like ROMA,
Dashwood Books, and PPP Editions, these informal, DIY-aesthetic
creations function as sketchbook, diary, installation space, and a
means of processing Marcopoulos’s daily practice of photographing
his life, his family, his neighborhood, and the rarified cultural
milieu in which he operates. This collection showcases an
impressive array of printed zines, exploring each as an artistic
object through an engaging layout. Beginning in 2015 and presented
chronologically per year, key zines are featured—including some
made during the pandemic, when Marcopoulos worked primarily on the
screen, making PDF zines—and punctuated by individual images
presented full scale. An interview with Hamza Walker underscores
the role of zines as an essential part of Marcopoulos’s artistic
practice, emphasizing the personal, diaristic element within the
work, while an essay from Maggie Nelson meditates on the work’s
position within a wider social and cultural context. Ari
Marcopoulos: Zines is a must-have for anyone interested in this
prolific artist’s personal practice and zine culture.

For nearly four decades, Ari Marcopoulos has broken conventions
with his candid and raw style. His photo- graphs documenting
subcultures such as skate- boarding, snowboarding, and hip-hop; his
tendencies to photograph stark landscapes, portraits of artists,
and celebrities; and his extremely quiet and intimate photos of his
family and friends have all been hugely influential in helping to
establish the visual rawness of youth culture, as well as the
ephemeral aesthetic of contemporary photography. Ari Marcopoulos:
Not Yet is an unprecedented journey through the artist's celebrated
career, from skate- boarding and snowboarding to rural landscapes
and cityscapes. This volume includes both iconic and
never-before-published photographs from the 1980s to now. Each
chapter is edited by a different cele- brated artist or family
member-all close to Marcopoulos-and it is through these personal
reflec- tions on the artist's work that this monograph takes on a
deeper level of intimacy, drawing a more complete portrait of his
oeuvre.
