New York, Rizzoli, 239,(1)p., richly illustrated, orig. boards w. dustwr., 4to. 239p. Gut In 2000, Ryan McGinley, then a student, staged his first exhibition of photographs in an abandoned SoHo gallery. To coincide with the show, the artist created several handmade books featuring a sampling of his work entitled The Kids Are Alright. A copy eventually found its way into the hands of Sylvia Wolf, then a curator of photography at the Whitney Museum of American Art. In 2003, Wolf mounted an exhibition of his work at the venerable institution, the youngest artist to ever have a solo show at the museum. What Wolf recognized-and what other critics, curators, and collectors would quickly discover-was an artist who understood and chronicled his own generation (habituees of New York City's downtown) as no artist had before him. McGinley had managed to capture the hedonistic adventures of youth culture-kids hanging out and enjoying life-but without the dark underbelly of earlier artists who mined similar themes. As the work evolved, he moved away from the more documentary aspect of the early photographs and began to create scenarios where he could explore different ideas (aesthetic and otherwise). This eventually led to the now legendary summer-long road trips, capturing groups of twenty-somethings amongst a variety of American landscapes. In his most recent body of work, McGinley continues to explore-in black and white as well as in color-the body but in the still, pared down atmosphere of his studio. In this first major monograph chronicling the entirety of the artist's career, McGinley's work is considered by three extraordinary figures: Chris Kraus, novelist and critic; John Kelsey, writer, artist and activist; and Gus Van Sant, the auteur filmmaker. Each attends-through the lens of their own rich insights-to various aspects of the artist's work and creative process, offering in-depth and unique perspectives on McGinley's work and import.Fotografie 2012<

Schirmer Mosel, 2012. 1st German Edition. 9783829606059. The Kids Are Alright: el título del primer libro de Ryan McGinley, aún en la mano, que acompañó su primera exposición fotográfica en una galería vacante del SoHo en 2000, podría representar todo su trabajo hasta la fecha. Nacido en 1977, la estrella fugaz de la escena fotográfica neoyorquina se ha movido entre sus compañeros desde el principio: los chavales del centro de Nueva York, los jóvenes en viajes al campo -sus ya legendarios viajes por carretera- y también trabaja con no modelos jóvenes y profesionales en el estudio. Se trata del estilo de vida de los jóvenes de su generación, que se divierten, se dejan llevar, disfrutan del verano de forma hedonista y retozan desnudos. Los lados oscuros permanecen intactos, aparte de los rasguños y las abrasiones que difícilmente se pueden evitar al saltar de las rocas oa través de las copas de los árboles. El Museo Whitney de Arte Americano ya mostró las fotografías de McGinley en 2003; por lo tanto, fue el artista más joven en tener una exposición individual en esta institución. Desde entonces, ha tenido demanda internacional y exhibe en galerías y museos de todo el mundo. En esta primera monografía completa, tres destacados autores exploran el fenómeno McGinley: el escritor Chris Kraus, el artista y autor John Kelsey, y el cineasta independiente Gus Van Sant, director de Drugstore Cowboy y My Private Idaho, entre otros., Schirmer Mosel, 2012, 0<
