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!!!

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 really love Mark Ryden's work. The detail on his art is amazing and the subjects always fascinating. Everytime you look at his paintings you'll discover something different. Love to have this in my book collection.

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.

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.

another book of the art of Mark Ryden. Well done and lavishly illustrated. I recommend this to anyone who like this style of art..one of the best.

This is a beautiful book. It is GIGANTIC and chalk full of Ryden's work, past and present. It arrived with about 30 pages torn in the middle of the book, approximately 1/4" deep and 1" long, like the pages were squashed with large pliers. I didn't want to deal with returning the book, but yours might be shipped torn too? For the price and for the Work inside, this is a MUST have for Mark Ryden fans new and old. If it wasn't torn, I'd give it 5 STARS.
