Barry McGee (TWIST) art walk, by lamo on Jan 20, 2016 19:48:12 GMT 1, I wanted to start a thread displaying one of my favorite artist Barry McGee. I"m a huge admirer, collector of his works and have had the pleasure of putting on a few group shows exhibiting his work at my old art space ACME GALLERY in San Francisco back in the mid 90's. I'll be posting artworks I have collected as well as pieces I have access to through friends. I invite anyone else who has work of his to post on this thread to share with folks to see in this forum, would greatly appreciate it.

This piece "Lewed Rude" was included in a few group shows through out the years, and is one of my favorites from his earlier works.. Barry originally painted it on the wall of our art space, and I didn't have the heart to paint over it when I lost the gallery, so I cut it out of the wall along with several other pieces I'll upload at a later date. The first show the pieces were included in was Post no Bills" in 95', curated by the amazing artist designer, Amy Franceschini and Acme Gallery. The second and third show was a low brow art show called "ACME KUTOM I & II" that I'll also post more photos of later.
Here are a couple of links from the site art crimes who documented some of the work as it was exhibited.

installation on the wall in the "Post No Bills" show
to be honest, I like how Barry's work looked in this display rather than framed, because it was like it had always been there, found and discovered, which gave his work so much soul in my opinion. He used One shot sign paint that he finished in varnish, which gave it that layered aged look. If I could have, I would have removed the whole wall in it's original state as one piece if it wasn't a load bearing wall.
