All works were made for his "yer so bad" exhibition at the Jonathan Levine gallery in NY, 2015. Is this still available anyway? Hey... Sorry for the late reply! I'm afraid it is long sold out. It was available at the gallery on the opening and a few were offered on the Parra website as well, but sold out in minutes. Maybe on the bay... Good luck !!

Jonone explains how he ended up moving to Paris, Lady Pink talks about being one of the few female writers back then and Skeme explains how he got his name. They all come across as incredibly humble and it's a great little read on a summer's evening.

There are also quite a few photographs that include tags and scrawled graffiti, for those of us that like that sort of thing. Out Of Control. Just under 450 pages. Just photographs, no text, save for location and date. It's the accumulation of one photographer's ten year documentation of the scene. Quote from a raver: "the images contained within summon you into the party like a slow motion glitch in the mainframe; this is where you can smell the rave and feel the base."

Delighted. The photographs in this book are superb, and so very much better than the one I shared. I didn't feel comfortable sharing most of the pictures showing the party goers, as it seemed a little rude to do so.

Recommended Art Books, by Feral Things on Aug 3, 2016 8:29:36 GMT 1, Any recommandation on abstract or graffuturism must-have book ? In no particular order these would be my top recommendations for graffuturism/abstract graffiti related books...
- 'Futurism 2.0' by Gamma Proforma is probably currently the best book out there about graffuturism. The book is being republished and is available to pre-order here but the book won't actually ship until November.
- 'Abstract Graffiti' by Cedar Lewisohn is both broad and very well written; there's some photos and a bit of info about the book in the first post of this thread here.
- 'Now' by Stohead was the catalogue for his show at Galerie le Feuvre from a couple of years ago and I think it really coincided with a sweet-spot in his career; the catalogue is available here.
- 'Stendhal Syndrome' by Katrin Fridriks is her first monograph but, unfortunately, its release has been repeatedly delayed (October 2016 is the current release date). A copy was available to peruse at her last show and it looked beautiful; you might still be able to preorder a signed copy from Lazarides.
- 'Futura' by Ben Drury. This is still the only monograph from the godfather of abstract graffiti; a new book was supposed to be published a few years ago but unfortunately it never materialised.
- 'The Chronicles' by Jonone is excellent but very expensive to get hold of at the moment, so it might be worth waiting until the English edition is released later this year.
- 'Graffuturism: LA Exhibition Catalogue' is still the only book actually released by Graffuturism but I understood that Poesia was working on a comprehensive book which would be fantastic.

There's photos of adverts, colour-charts and the cans themselves dating back to the 1960s, as well as some nice interviews with the employees and the family that ran Krylon. It looks like hunting down all the old cans and paraphernalia was a labour of love for the guys that put the book together but I think we're very lucky that they did before it was too late and these cans disappeared forever.

TIA!

Juxtapoz is excellent and if you subscribe you get a different cover to the regular newsstand version (if you're into that sort of thing). Hi-Fructose has more of a lean towards pop-surrealism/lowbrow art.
I would also recommend Graffiti Art Magazine which is run by the guys from Galerie Openspace and covers a lot of the European scene that doesn't get much of a mention here. They also publish an annual guide that is half way between a book and a magazine and provides a good overview of some of the artists that have been active recently.
