Project Rainbow

by Ryan McGinness

In 2003 Ryan McGinness created a limited edition version of his artist s book, Project Rainbow, silkscreening 300 copies with unique and distinct covers. More recently, McGinness has repainted the front and back covers of the remaining 50 copies from this edition with new layers echoing the depth and palette of his more contemporary work with fluo inks and bold designs. The interior of the book takes the viewer on a journey deep into the layered silkscreen compositions inspired by the simultaneous simultaneous solo exhibitions, ''Ryan Project Rainbow'' at 222 Gallery in Philadelphia and ''Ryan Worlds Within Worlds'' at Deitch Projects in New York in the Fall of 2003. Every detail of these works is revealed, from the texture and flaws of the paper to the dynamic forms created by an endless ''rainbow'' of inks and silkscreened layers. Printed four color offset within. Unique Silkscreens on the front and back covers, signed and numbered.
