Ardent fans of the pop surrealist maestro Mark Ryden can pick up a new tome of work spanning Ryden’s impressive career published by influential publishing company Taschen. The book is a gorgeous, giant piece work in itself, with beautifully reproduced images, tons of essays (including one by yours truly, featured in Hi Fructose Vol 11) gold leaf cover details, and many foldouts (some as wide as 59 inches across!) so the incredible detail of the paintings and drawings can be poured over.
Extra lucky fans in southern California can RSVP to a signing for the book on March 1st with the normally reclusive artist at Taschen Store in Beverly Hills by contacting Taschen at (310) 274-4300.-Kirsten Anderson
