Gary Baseman<br />

After Mono Taxali, Mono Baseman is the third title in the<br />

Mono series, featuring the up-and-coming international<br />

generation of contemporary artists and illustrators. This<br />

is the first authoritative monograph on Gary Baseman,<br />

founder of the artistic movement called lowbrow. Born<br />

in 1960 in Los Angeles to Holocaust survivors from<br />

Ukraine, he studied communication at UCLA. From 1986<br />

to 1996, Baseman worked as an illustrator in New York. His<br />

drawings were published in The New Yorker, Time, The<br />

New York Times and The Los Angeles Times. In 1999 he<br />

made the transition to fine art with his show "Dumb Luck<br />

and Other Paintings About Lack of Control". Baseman<br />

is now a prominent figure in Los Angeles art scene. He<br />

coined the term “pervasive art” as an alternative to<br />

“lowbrow art”, and his work tends to blur the line between<br />

fine art and commercial art. He has also worked in<br />

figurines, toys, fashion and cartoons, notably the Disney<br />

animated series Teacher’s Pet.<br />
