About This Book

Somewhere between an artist’s book and a catalogue, Installationview provides insight into the works and process of artist Ryan McGinness. The book is a dense collection of new paintings, works on paper, installations, sketches and notes, inspiration snapshots, and pieces made specifically for its pages.

“For those inclined to debate the line that separates graphic design from fine art, there is no better case study than Ryan McGinness.”—Metropolis
