Barry McGee Sold at Auction Prices

b. 1966 -

Barry McGee makes drawings, paintings, and mixed-media installations inspired by urban culture that incorporate elements such as empty liquor bottles and spray-paint cans, tagged signs, wrenches, and scrap wood or metal. McGee is also a graffiti artist, having produced work on the streets since the 1980s under the tag name ?Twist?; his signature motif is the face of a man with sagging, tired eyes, rendered in an efficient linear style. McGee and his wife, artist Margaret Kilgallen were featured in the film Beautiful Losers, a 2008 documentary about Street Art and the DIY aesthetic.

Barry McGee Deitch Projects Exhibition Poster
Est: $300 - $500
Screenprint poster was made for the 2005 "One More Thing" exhibition of Barry McGee's work presented by Deitch Projects. As described in the Jeffrey Deitch Archives, the Deitch show was the third venue in a series of McGee's exhibitions that "brought his own world into the gallery: his community of friends (an important presence in the exhibition through photos, drawings, mannequins, and their active participation in the installation process itself), the haunting presence of hobos and outcasts, whose sagging faces appeared on the walls or covered empty bottles, the cast-off material from the street where graffiti artists went out to leave their marks."
