Mark Ryden: The Gay '90s Hardcover – April 16, 2013

I've waited a long time to see this collection called The Gay 90's, and I can only say that I was smiling the entire time as I looked through this last night, I mean I was GIDDY!!! I'd never heard of Mark Ryden until about 5 years ago...some new friends came to my apartment and saw how I decorated and knew I would love his work. They were so right. Kitsch has never been so beautiful and hilarious as when this man shares on canvas what his mind sees. I feel incredibly lucky to own a copy of this book, I hope there are enough copies to satisfy all his fans. Thanks Amazon!!!

I love Mark Ryden's art! Visual artists are in a league of their own. My mother in law is a painter and it is amazing how detailed everything has to be to make the piece and how delicate every brush stroke is. This particular book is my favorite of Ryden's. It's bigger and the subject matter is a lot more interesting.. If you like him check out Camille Rose Garcia and Elizabeth McGrath. Both of them have books on Amazon which are really great too.

This is a well put together piece of work. The binding and the pages are of great material, and the colors just seem to pop the way I believe Mark Ryden wanted them to. This is a great purchase that I was debating over for some time, and I am glad that I did eventually decided that I need to have this adorning my shelves.

I found this book in Paris a few weeks before it was released in the US. I couldn't put it down even though it was all in French (which I don't speak). I was happy to be able to order it in English on Amazon. It is one of the most creative art books I've seen in recent times.Weeks later and I'm still captivated by it!

Mark Ryden's art is amazing and the quality of the images is beautiful. The only thing I don't understand about art or photography books is why do they always make a double or triple spread and the image gets "cut" in the middle cause is spread in 2 different pages, you end up loosing detail and it's very unconfortable to see.

If you're here you're probably a Ryden fan, so there's not much to say other than get this one to complete your collection. Since this is a show-specific volume, I'd probably recommend Pinxit for someone that wants a thorough overview of his complete body of work to date. Either way you can't go wrong...

Good book for Ryden fans. Contains several artworks with good reproductions and small details.

The reason I gave this three stars is because I ordered it along with 2 other books. The other two books came wrapped in cello. Being that I'm buying them for collection I wasn't planning on opening them. This one was not wrapped. I thought it might be a fluke so I arranged for a return (which was extremely simple and very fast to replace by the way). When the replacement arrived it too was unwrapped. If anyone that reads this has gotten a wrapped one, I'd like to know but at this point i'm assuming this particular book just might not be wrapped. Love the book, love the artist.

Assim como o trabalho de Ryden, o acabamento do livro é impressionante. Uma peça de colecionador.

Love it

j'ai acheté cet album sans savoir vraiment le contenu , plutôt au nombre de pages et avis, mais je cherchais plutôt une retrospective des divers themes de l'artiste, or, il s'agit de ses dernieres peintures et esquisses de 2017j'ai recommandé l'album "pinxit" qui retrace l'ensemble de ses tableaux les plus connus entre "bunnies et bees et tree show" en complementcelui ci contient un peu de lecture sur l'artiste (en anglais) et pas que des images,ce qui est aussi interessant

Tolle Bilder in wunderbarer Qualität.Wer auf Mark Ryden steht muss sich dieses Bildband kaufen.Ich habe mich wahnsinnig darüber gefreut :-)

Como todos los catálogos sobre este artista, se han cuidado todos los detalles. El libro no decepcionará en absoluto a todo interesado en la obra de Mark Ryden.
