Not since the Beat Generation have we seen a group of creative individuals
with such a unified aesthetic sense and varied cultural facets. The world
of art has been greatly affected by their accomplishments as have the worlds
of fashion, music, literature, film, and, ironically, athletics. Over the
years, the group has matured, and many have become more establishment-oriented;
but no matter, their independent spirit has remained steadfast. Beautiful
Losers is a retrospective celebration of this spirit, with hundreds of artworks
by over three dozen artists, from precursors like Jean-Michel Basquiat,
Keith Haring, and Larry Clark, to more recent adherents Ryan McGinness,
KAWS, and Geoff McFetridge. Work in all conceivable mediums is included,
plus reproductions of reams of ephemera. The accompanying essays are contributed
by a half-dozen writers who have championed these beautiful losers from
the start.
