Printed Matter's New Skateboard Editions
Printed Matter is pleased to announce the release of three new limited-edition skateboards by Liam Gillick, Mark Gonzales, and Ari Marcopoulos. Produced in editions of 100, each board is signed by the artist and retails for $150.
Mark Gonzales’ The Mini Big Kahuna is an oversized custom-designed board specially made for Printed Matter. On the bottom of the board is a colored offset image of various types of untied sneakers…an image with child-like charm that parodies the act of skateboarding, which demands shoes touching a skateboard.
Ari Marcopoulos’ Cairo, Sonoma, 2006 is a black and white board with a photographic silkscreen of a shirtless androgynous boy, emblematic of the photographer’s iconic subjects and style.
Liam Gillick’s Southbank, 1987 is the artist’s first skateboard. The natural wood board features a silkscreened typographic text, partially obliterated by a freeform line that suggests graffiti.
All three editions are available at printedmatter.org, at our storefront in New York City, and at our booth at Art Basel / Miami Beach. For additional information, please contact Max Schumann, Associate Director, at mschumann@printedmatter.org.
