More copies of this ISBN:Installationviewby Ryan Mcginness
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Somewhere between an artist's book and a catalogue, Installationview provides insight into the works and process of artist Ryan McGinness. The book is a dense collection of new paintings, works on paper, installations, sketches and notes, inspiration snapshots, and pieces made specifically for its pages.
"McGinness has developed an expansive vocabulary of eccentric, vaguely familiar symbols drawn from art historical and modern vernacular sources."--the New York Times
"An unusual marriage of abstraction and representation"--Art News
"For those inclined to debate the line that separates graphic design from fine art, there is no better case study than Ryan McGinness."--Metropolis
"McGinness is on image overload."--the Boston Globe
"The 33-year-old's recent paintings combine colorful icons drawn from mythology, pop culture, and nature"--Departures Book News Annotation:At first glance much of McGinness's flat artwork looks like
sophisticated graphic design, but the second glance reveals the
absence of an advertised product. Using his own personal iconography
that resembles already existing pop culture images, McGinness
seamlessly merges graphic design with fine art. His work employs flat
shapes, geometric forms, images from the public domain, and
iconography of all sorts, which are digitally combined and
silk-screened on skateboards, T-shirts, paper cups & plates, soccer
balls, etc. This volume is part catalog, part artist's book, and
contains reproductions of McGinness's paintings, drawings, notes,
objects, installations, and artwork made specifically for this book.
An interview with the artist and several essays about his life and
work are included.

Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Synopsis:Barely thirty years old, Ryan McGinness has already achieved a lifetime's worth of personal and critical success. A graphic designer known for his signature blend of psychedelic abstract with product-oriented representation, McGinness uses a hypnotic personal iconography of symbols and images, which are recontextualized in media as diverse as soccer balls and agnes b. dress shirts. This volume features a wide range of McGinness's art and design, including works on paper, drawings, installations, and sketchbook selections. With boundless creativity and graphic agility, McGinness has succeeded in bridging a significant gap in contemporary design: His work is original; yet it is equally at home on gallery walls as it is on the mass-produced. Ryan McGinness shows how, by extending the limitations of graphic design, he has created an aesthetic that is palpably relevant, instantly recognizable, and unquestionably his own. ..."Ryan has elevated graphic design to an art form." ― Jalouse "A slick and inventive designer" ― The New York Times "Ryan McGinness is an original" ― ArtNews ..."McGinness's style works equally well for corporate clients and the most exactingly attuned and self-policed hipsters..." ― BlackBook
