Recommended Art Books, by boatyyy on Jan 4, 2012 7:54:27 GMT 1, Just had an opportunity to read through the 'Banksy Locations (and A Tour) VOL .2' book and loved it.
I'm a relative novice to Banksy's UK street work and this was an outstanding education and fun facts read for me (actually, it confirmed i was a total novice).
Highly recommend it; and the pricing is great for what you get, imo. (I believe a coupon code for a discount was included in a previous post...)

It has enjoyed some good reviews such as Hyperallergic
and was featured in the Guardian
โBigโ art by Boa Mistura in โBig Art/Small Artโ (photograph by the author for Hyperallergic)
As the title suggests the book is about how artistโs use and play with scale to create art that is engaging and experiential โ divided into two chapters โ Big Art & Small Art.
It includes art from different realms - land art, street art, installation, public art etc...
Evol, โBlock G1-25 (w/ Know Hope)โ (2010), Stavanger, Norway, Spray paint on electrical box. Dimensions variable. (Courtesy of Evol)
Some work will be familiar to people and I sure some will be new...

"In the late 1970s, New York City was bankrupt, dirty and dangerous. Born on these grimy streets, graffiti rapidly made its mark. Here, twelve legendary graffiti writers โ Bil Rock, Breezer, Daze, Jon One, Kel, KR, Lady Pink, Sak, Sharp, Skeme, Spin and Team โ give first-person accounts of their experiences. Individually interviewed for this book by Sacha Jenkins, they reveal an authentic, unparalleled insight into the golden age of graffiti."

(And it turns out that Mr. Chalfant could not be cooler or nicer.)

Recommended Art Books, by Feral Things on Feb 19, 2016 18:48:21 GMT 1, It occurred to me that there's been some brilliantly interesting and insightful books written over the years but because, unlike a lot of prints, they tend not to get resold on here they also don't get mentioned on here once they're released and people perhaps aren't then aware of them further on down the road. So I thought it'd be good to have a dig through the bookshelves and re-post some...
I'll kick things off with 'Abstract Graffiti' by Cedar Lewisohm, who curated 'Street Art at Tate Modern' featuring Blu, Os Gemeos and co. a few years ago. The book includes interviews with the likes of Futura and KR and the work of Josรฉ Parlรก and Pener. But one of the things I like about the book is its breadth; in addition to the aesthetic abstraction, the book also covers conceptually abstract artists like Escif and Toasters, as well as an interview with a judge! On a similar topic, there's also 'Abstract Vandalism' featuring the work of Shoe, Egs and Nug (who has a new show that opened today):

But primarily it was a showcase for the artists who later made up the Scrawl Collective - originally Mr Jago, Will Barras and Steff Plaetz - and it includes the art work for club flyers that they were producing back then at the start of their careers. 32 of the artists featured also provide a nice little introduction to themselves at the beginning.

I recommend it. I only recently came across Mode2's book but, like you say, the contents is a really nice mix. Another book that's gotta be mentioned in connection with Mode2 is Henry Chalfont's iconic 'Spraycan Art', as Mode2 did the piece on the cover. There's a forum member with a copy signed by Mode2 and his handstyle is just on a whole different level but I'll leave it to them whether they're happy to post a photo on here.

Keith Haring originally conceived the self-titled book below as his own monograph but with his sad and untimely death in 1990 it was left to Jeffrey Deitch, Julia Gruen and Suzanne Geiss (who were variously his gallerists, friends and studio assistant) to complete the book. The book spans his whole career and includes his subway drawings, large public commissions and his own thoughts about a lot of his projects. On a related note, why has there not been a UK exhibition of his work for over 10 years?! Anyway, considering the book is 550 pages long, it's absolute bargain at c.ยฃ30 but if you're just looking to dip your toe in the wonderful world of Keith Haring then Alexandra Kolossa's book published by Taschen is a great introduction and only ยฃ5:

The Swiss artist Thomas Hirschhorn has been at the frontline of the alternative art scene for the last 20 years, consistently disseminating the iconography and socio-economics of a capitalist culture in meltdown. His latest work Where Do I Stand? What Do I Want? published this month by Art Review, is both a radical left-wing manifesto and a window into the soul of an artist whose prolific output is an attempt, not only to define his place in the world, but also a call to arms for those sleeping souls who realise that the only questions they really need to address are those of a revolutionary nature. The dizzying volume of his overpowering visual assaults, and the unquestionable nature of his commitment, is what makes Hirschhorn both a convincing and profoundly important agent provocateur. "I don't want to work against chaos," he states with startling acuity. "I want to work within the chaos of the world... I need to keep my eyes open. I want to be sensitive to the time, and the reality of the world I am living in." Where Do I Stand? What do I Want? is a fiercely intellectual yet entirely accessible collection of essays that chart a path of visual resistance, taking in everyone from Joseph Beuys, Alexandre Costanzo and Andy Warhol to Che Guevara. The overarching suggestion in this impressive offering is that the greatest tools of every true artist have their foundation in courage. upload gifs

Forty Years in the Wilderness is a visual account of Mike Coles's graphic journey on the fringe of art, design and music since his arrival in London in 1976 armed with ยฃ90, a rucksack and a little book of drawings.
"Whilst living in Covent Garden in 1977 a friend gave me a set of prints by John Heartfield, the German artist who produced highly political anti-nazi photomontages. I started messing around with cut-up magazine photos and newspaper ads creating twisted and surreal images and soon Iโd swapped the pen for the scalpel. And I bought a camera."
In 1979, MIke, a few mates and an unknown band called Killing Joke formed Malicious Damage Records, his logic being that if you had your own record label you could design all the record sleeves, posters, t-shirts and maintain what he refers to as "stubborn independence". Some of the label's more idiosyncratic releases include a Shriekback album released on an egg and elaborate Orb box sets featuring, aside from the music, prints, postcards, badges, boxes of "ephemera" and action figures.
That early bold, atmospheric Killing Joke imagery is now legendary and forty years later Mike is still creating and treading his own path, single-handedly running Malicious Damage Records, still working with Killing Joke and The Orb, doing live VJ sets, realising his visions on film and video and meddling with the art of photomontage.
Mike's career has spanned five decades, from the twilight days of hot metal type, drawing boards and cow gum, through the revolutionary arrival of the computer and on into the digital future of smartphones and social media.
"I love to subvert images and twist them out of context, transforming something nice into something nasty, or taking something evil and making it funny. It's always fascinated me, the evil behind the smiles and the grin behind the wickedness. I think it probably harks back to my strict catholic schooling... all those nuns and priests... I like cute things too."

I love the books of Blu and Ericailcane, but know those can be hard to track down at reasonable prices. Faile's latest book of pieces on wood is incredible. The Revok book from his Detroit show is good as well. Since you like D*Face you should get his catalogue from the Malaga show, available on his website, as it has his most recent work featured in it.

Just curious, is the new Pose book actually titled Couples Therapy? I thought it was called Pose Book 1?

Just curious, is the new Pose book actually titled Couples Therapy? I thought it was called Pose Book 1?

Thanks 11. Yes, that's odd. No longer a member?!

Recommended Art Books, by Agent Provocateur on Mar 14, 2016 18:15:14 GMT 1, I only recently came across Mode2's book but, like you say, the contents is a really nice mix. Another book that's gotta be mentioned in connection with Mode2 is Henry Chalfont's iconic ' Spraycan Art', as Mode2 did the piece on the cover. There's a forum member with a copy signed by Mode2 and his handstyle is just on a whole different level but I'll leave it to them whether they're happy to post a photo on here. Only just saw your post Feral Things , all good, happy to postโฆ managed to corner Mode2 at 'The Chrome Angelz' show (Laz Outsiders '12) and he signed one of his pages Mode2 and The Chrome Angelz. Great book now vandalised perfectly.

I love the books of Blu and Ericailcane, but know those can be hard to track down at reasonable prices. Faile's latest book of pieces on wood is incredible. The Revok book from his Detroit show is good as well. Since you like D*Face you should get his catalogue from the Malaga show, available on his website, as it has his most recent work featured in it.

Just going by what I see here - www.amazon.co.uk/POSE-Couples-Therapy-Roger-Gastman/dp/1584236183
Pretty sure I remember the Gingko site calling it that as well, although it doesn't say that now.

Recommended Art Books, by Hairbland on Mar 14, 2016 19:17:46 GMT 1, I received this today. It's the catalogue for the current Dutch Bosch show. It's a beautiful book, that I'm delighted with. Moreover, I wanted to say once again what a great place this forum can be. I asked if anyone could pick this up for me from the show, should it not he available online. Member @buckwurst kindly did so for me. Thank you very much. Great book, and a show I'd love to see but probably won't be able to, although I've seen his work in Prado a good 20 years ago. Good to see the influence processed and made fresh by Interesni Kazki.
