A survey of his career from 1974 to the present, Everything Must Go is the first catalogue to incorporate the full range of Jim Shaws profoundly original and idiosyncratic work. From the massive 170-piece multimedia work My Mirage to his Thrift Store Paintings, Dream Drawings, and Dream Objects, Shaw has created a fantastic visual narrative that references diverse outside sources, moments of personal history, and fragments of our collective cultural consciousness. His highly individualized outsider perspective has established Shaw as a seminal figure in Europe and the United States, and he has contributed significantly to the influence of Los Angeles in the international art community. Essays by Amy Gerstler, Doug Harvey, Mike Kelley, Nollie Roussel, and Fabrice Stroun. 150 pages, Softcover, 10 x 8 1/4 inches, 1999 ISBN #2919893238
