That looks like it might be a non-selling show? The McGee piece on the homepage sold at NIA earlier this year.

from the guys at thinkspace:

"I think it's just the image at the time they made the flier as they've both been working on new pieces for this show. Phil has been down in Costa Mesa in RVCA's warehouse for past month almost I've heard working on new stuff. "

[oneeye]

Frost and McGee, two legends. Can't wait to see what they've been cranking out.

[Harveyn]

Had so many kind offers of help on this one from people pointing me in the right direction and setting me up with a great network of contacts. I am actually still pondering a second piece but I could not resist taking he plunge on this beauty.... ;D ;D

Thanks to everyone, you know who you are.



I love the detail of the figure standing in the middle which after starring at it for ages suddenly jumped out at me.

[holden]

Good find Harveyn, your piece is quite different from the ones I've seen for the upcoming show and I much prefer yours.

I realize that its on the "wrong side" of the Pond, but there's a new gallery and show in Los Angeles that opened last night. The show is called "Mind the Gap" and features a wealth of work by Barry McGee and Phil Frost. The gallery, which looks to be pretty amazing is called Prism.

While I unfortunately could not make the special preview night and have no pictures to share, there are some amazing pictures to be seen on Arrested Motion and Slam Hype. Here are a few photos I "borrowed" from arrested motion:













If anyone took photos, it'd be great if you could post them.

Here are the links for more photos for those interested:

Hands down the show of the year for me, i am speechless at the quality of work from both of these two, just wish i was in LA to see it.

[afroken]

That is what I'm talking about!

[Pedro Matos]

both of them really took it to the next level

I have photos that were taken on my iPhone that I will try to post up this weekend. The opening was truly an event. The work from both McGee and Frost were awesome, in the truest sense of the word. I have not been following them long enough to know if it was their best, but I can say that it was the strongest work I have ever seen from either.

The space itself is superb. These guys are taking art shows in L.A. to a whole new level. I'm really hoping they can continue to bring in some heavy hitters. The initial though I had is that people like Parla, Neate, Futura, Faile, and Swoon could really go to town and create some stunning MASSIVE works in the space. The large Frost and McGee pieces had to have been approximately 30+ feet (vertical).

The only quasi-complaint was that they did not yet have the price list put together. The workers were not even sure what, if anything, would be up for sale. I'm certain this will all be sorted in the very near future.

Anyhow, if you are anywhere near the area do not sleep on this.

I have to agree 100%

Great find!!!

[bazzj04]

Never seen any of this before but WOW , this is lovley the more i look the more I LOVE , you just get lost looking for more faces.

[nah]

holy crap! wow

[skanky]

Looks like a cracking show and Mcgee and Frost's work really sits well together. I agree with the comments above regarding the gallery space it looks amazing and really helps show the work in all its glory. Congrats to all involved.

[beasty]

The Frost in the first photo and the McGee in the last photo look absolutely stunning. I've been after a Phil Frost work for sometime now and have seen a few at Elms which were very tempting but some of these pieces look like they totally fit the bill. I sent the gallery an email to enquire about a sales catalogue but no joy yet. If anyone does know anything about a preview/ sales catalogue can they please PM me?

[Cocteau 101]

That is one amazing space.

[James Smith 77]

Hey Beasty. Whats the email of the gallery? I looked online but couldn't find one.

[Macdeee]

Amazing... Wish I could check this out first hand.

[sand]

Looks like an incredible show by two of the pioneers of the 'street art movement'.

Some of the work in such a large scale is jaw dropping!!!

Looks like a fantastic space..can't wait to see which other artists they will be exhibiting!

[Simococo]

the new body of work by Frost is exceptional
