Beautiful Losers explores the dynamic intersection of street culture and contemporary art in the U.S. during the 1990s and early 2000s. It highlights artists who emerged from skateboarding, graffiti, punk, hip-hop, and DIY scenes, later gaining recognition in the mainstream art world.
The book features hundreds of works across painting, photography, sculpture, and mixed media by artists like Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, KAWS, and Geoff McFetridge. Accompanying essays provide cultural context and celebrate the movement’s impact.
