Book Description
Fine Art Limited Editions, A Catalogue Raisonn‚ presents the complete prints and posters of Josh Agle, a.k.a. Shag, the Californiabased artist whose bold, bright, irreverent takes on the swingin’ styles and of jetsetters, cocktaillounge crawlers, scenestealing supervillains and (literal) party animals have made him one of the most popular painters working today. Shag’s paintings have seen heavy demand and rising prices, so Agle turned to high quality limitededition prints beginning in 1999. Collected here for the first time, these 175 prints document the evolution of color, content and composition in Shag’s work with illustrated essays. Chronologically arranged and annotated with information on size, print run and date of publishing, straight from the artist’s own archives, here are Shag's long soldout limited edition serigraphs, offset lithos and etchings.
