Myopia by Mark Mothersbaugh

Mark Mothersbaugh is a legendary figure for fans of both street art + music culture. Cofounder of the seminal New Wave band DEVO, he was a prolific visual artist before the band’s inception moving seamlessly between multiple mediums creating bold, cartoonish, strangely disturbed works of pop surrealism that playfully explore the relationship between technology + individuality. In the most comprehensive presentation of his work to date, Myopia features a lifetime of his creative inventions from the beginning of his artistic career in the 1970s to his most recent work, including early postcards, screen prints, decals, + DEVO ephemera as well as later paintings, photographs (such as the celebrated Beautiful Mutants series), sculpture + rugs. This richly illustrated catalog positions Mothersbaugh as a pivitol figure in the history of both contemporary art + indie culture. Hardcover. 256 pages.
