[1st ed] Ryan McGinley (Signed)
First edition (stated), first printing of Ryan McGinley’s first published collection of photographs, drawn from his series “The Kids are Alright” and published by Index Books in 2002. 8vo (6” x 9”), 62 unnumbered pages with 44 color and 2 b/w images. Photographs and book design by McGinley. Signed by the artist on the title page. Laid in is an invitation card for a book signing in May 2003 at Printed Matter, along with two ephemeral items from his first solo show (The Kids are Alright) in February 2003 at the Whitney Museum: an invitation card (laid in) and an announcement for a conversation with Larry Clark (now tipped in). A notable small archive of the book and exhibition that launched McGinley’s career. Scarce thus. Minor bumping and light rubbing to extremities. Interior contents near fine.
