A surreal and darkly humorous artist's book by American painter Mark Kostabi, capturing the anxieties, absurdities, and visual culture of the late 1980s.
Through a series of interconnected paintings and visual narratives, Kostabi constructs a strange universe populated by faceless figures, geometric forms, and enigmatic interiors. His imagery explores alienation, consumerism, technology, sexuality, and the increasingly artificial nature of modern life.
Combining elements of Pop Art, surrealism, and postmodern satire, the book presents a distinctive portrait of a society shaped by television, computers, and mass consumption.
An eccentric and visually compelling publication from the height of New York's 1980s art scene.
