Summary

Ryan McGinley focuses on the work that he has become best known for since he first rose to prominence ten years ago: the summer road trips.

Description

Ryan McGinley dominates this category of photography book - the lives of the young and the restless. As one of the most critically acclaimed photographers working today and rightfully considered the voice of his generation, no other photographer or artist has so indelibly captured the millennial zeitgeist.

This new monograph focuses exclusively on the work Ryan McGinley is best known for - beautiful images of carefree college-age kids on road trips frolicking in surreally beautiful landscape settings: mountains, lakes, vast fields.
