101 Essential Rock'n' Roll Albums This volume celebrates 101 seminal rock 'n' roll records, from the Beatles 1963 debut through the Sex Pistols' 1977 classic Never Mind The Bollocks. The blue-chip artists are there, but this thoughtful book is also peppered with lesser-known nuggets and underexposed musicians. The Jimi Hendrix Experience and Pink Floyd rub elbows with Laura Nyro's More Than a New Discovery and Pentangle's Sweet Child. An essay on each title accompanies reproductions of the original vinyl album cover artwork, with many rare variations from around the world. Also included are intimate interviews with rock 'n' roll royalty, with artists revealing the albums and performers that influenced them, and how. David Bowie enthuses about the Velvet Underground, Iggy Pop recalls having hamburgers in Berlin with Frank Zappa and David Bowie, and Graham Nash recalls Paul McCartney and John Lennon singing a just-written Misery to him backstage, one voice in each ear. Also included are contributions from Suzanne Vega, the Smiths' Johnny Marr, Devendra Banhart, Robyn Hitchcock, Wilco's Nels Cline, and more. Подробнее

The Art of Rebellion III

Hundertmark Christian, 2010

Since the publication of The Art of Rebellion #1 in 2002, the street art genre has exploded into the mainstream. The author, Christian Hundertmark, also known as artist C100, has been inside the scene since day one, which enables him to have first-class info about what's fresh in the street art world. The focus of this book is not on the ubiquitous stickers and stencils found everywhere today; instead, Hundertmark uses his insider knowledge to carefully curate the selection, showcasing only the most outstanding and engaging work. Street art's ability to inject wit, whimsy, and social commentary into commonplace urban environments is evident in projects such as a street sign masked with a bright yellow daisy, or a plain white wall with the word BAD scrawled across it in bright red script. With more than 200 full color pages, The Art of Rebellion #3 is an unforgettable visual journey through the latest and greatest street art. Подробнее

Disposable II: A Skateboard Collector's Bible With the release of Disposable — A History of Skateboard Art in 2004, author Sean Cliver made a brilliant attempt at artfully cataloging every important skateboard deck ever released. In the process, he created a classic, but was left feeling less than whole. Ever the completist, the gaping omissions in the first book gnawed at him and drove him to envision compiling 'the' ultimate encyclopedia of Skateboard decks. While Disposable was beautiful, capturing the essence of the aesthetic, Disposable II sets out to be the Bible. The author's industry insider status (in 1989, he landed his first job as a designer at Powell-Peralta) allow him to walk the reader through the culture, the art and the mania with authority. While the boards take centre stage, fascinating vignettes and recollections by a who's who of skateboarding round out the book. Подробнее

E Pluribus Venom: Shepard Fairey Recent Work

Fairey Shepard, 2008

E Pluribus Venom collects a large body of work produced by Shepard Fairey and presented at the Jonathan Levine Gallery in summer 2007. The title E Pleribus Venom (out of many, one) is an early motto adopted by the US government, which appears on US currency. The artistic thesis is that many becoming one, or a loss of power and influence of the individual in favour of homogeny is a symptom of a society in decline. E Pluribus Venom is comprised of artworks designed to question the symbols and methods of the American machine and American dream and also celebrate those who oppose blind nationalism and war. Some of Fairey's works use currency motifs or a Norman Rockwell aesthetic to employ graphic language of the subjects that they critique. Other works use a blend of Art Nouveau, hippie and revolutionary propaganda styles to celebrate subjects advocating peace. Подробнее

Mayday: The Art of Shepard Fairey

Fairey Shepard, 2011

The final exhibition before the closing of New York's seminal Deitch Projects, May Day is simultaneously a call for heightened awareness and a celebration of the rebirth embodied in revolutionary movements. May Day presents an evocative collection of paintings from one of the most important artists of our time. Portraits of advocates of the working class and oppressed define the collection. Fairey stakes the claim that artists, musicians and writers such as Joe Strummer, Jean Michel Basquiat and Cornel West all have parts to play in stimulating response to injustice. With energy and urgency befitting the title May Day, Fairey captures the radical spirit of his subjects. Says Fairey, These people I'm portraying were all revolutionary, in one sense or another. They started out on the margins of culture and ended up changing the mainstream. When we celebrate big steps that were made in the past, it reminds us that big steps can be made in the future.
