Barry McGee ๐บ๐ธ Mission School Art Movement, by jamesreeve5 on May 4, 2008 7:22:53 GMT 1, brilliant all around... thanks for sharing... I notice way more Anti Advertising (the pattern pieces) than figurative work these days. I think the classic McGee figurative style is becoming a rarity in favor of the Robert Pimple / Ray Fong style and his Anti Advertising

I love the fact that he's from a traditional graffiti background. Did anyone go to the Barry Mcgee, Espo and Reas exhibition that was in Liverpool in 2001 (ish). I've got some pics somewhere. I will dig them out.

When I lived in San Francisco TWIST painted the entire hoarding around the NEW Yerba Buena Centre and it rocked HARD... when the hoardings were removed a LOT of them just vanished and it looks like a couple of them have just surfaced... Im not going to buy them but if anybody has deep pockets , please go ahead and maybe I can come and check them out... he is the real deal, and I think these pieces were the ones that broke him into a whole new dimension of art...
I used to see so much of his work and when I think about the phrase 'poetry is in the streets' I think about his angst filled images of city workers in shirt and tie ...

Barry McGee ๐บ๐ธ Mission School Art Movement, by ambrosiabaptism on May 24, 2008 23:12:10 GMT 1, Wow !
I use to have a cutting from a magazine of that wall/hoarding in one of my old sketch books. I've been look for that image for time. I have often tried to explain this to others but they usually just humour me and pretend they understand what I'm on about. I think that it is probably one of the first pieces of graf that made me realise that it could me more than burners or murals.
thanks for posting.
P.S. could no way afford this

An absolute steal for anything less than $12,000
and it beats buying shady/forged bottles of ebay...
happy bidding folks
And it's not mine, but I am the happy owner of a similar face on wood (some of you might have seen the pics) and I would love for a forum member to snatch this up.

Barry McGee ๐บ๐ธ Mission School Art Movement, by sham69 on Jul 30, 2008 23:11:47 GMT 1, categorically a fake.
I bought a piece from the same guy, same story. Showed it to Barry when he was here for the Baltic Show. In his own words 's**t that's cool, but it ain't mine, I could never get that loose'.
Still, at the end of the day they're mighty good fakes. I still have mine hanging. Beautiful.
