Author Description

This in-depth look at one of San Francisco's most renowned art groups showcases the work of five artists who emerged out of San Francisco's Mission district in the early 1990s, and by the early 2000s were internationally known as "Mission School" artists. Created in conjunction with an exhibition at San Francisco Art Institute, this book reexamines the careers of Chris Johanson, Margaret Kilgallen, Alicia McCarthy, Barry McGee, and Ruby Neri, connecting early works and ephemera with new work created especially for the show. With essays from curators and critics, this unprecedented book explores the origins and evolution of this influential group of artists.
