Barry McGee: Reproduction is the first monograph to comprehensively collect the photographs of internationally acclaimed multimedia artist Barry McGee. While widely recognized for the inventive graphic language of his paintings, drawings, and installations, McGee’s photography is a vital and deeply integrated aspect of his artistic practice.

Captured across cities and continents, at all hours and with whatever camera is available, these images are immediate and unfiltered—at once intimate, spontaneous, and subversive. McGee’s work is defined by a bold visual vocabulary: geometric patterning, densely layered compositions, recurring characters, and the incorporation of found materials such as discarded bottles, surfboards, and wrecked vehicles.

Whether embedded within his signature multi-element installations or reproduced in the countless zines and artist books that accompany his exhibitions, photography remains a constant and driving force throughout his oeuvre.

This volume offers rare insight into McGee’s creative process and serves as a testament to the vast visual archive he has amassed—an archive that underpins one of the most eclectic and influential artistic practices of our time.
