Barry Mcgee

by Patrizio Bertelli, Germano Celant (Editor), Miuccia Prada (Editor)

A hefty and beautiful retrospective that accompanied Barry McGeeÌs one man show at the Fodazione Prada in Italy. The bookÌs layout is exceedingly simple with the main beef (the pictures) arranged in the same sort of haphazard, yet engrossing way that he presents his gallery work. Image descriptions, dates and other info are thankfully stored way in the back, along with a 5 page interview. The work here presents the full spectrum of TwistÌs environment, history and art including installation work, tags and piecing, sketches, paintings and photographs of all sorts- his friends, street scenes, random oddities and more. ItÌs beautiful, at least 300 pages, and limited.
