Lost Collection 0001 | 1998-2008
This issue of Lost is a special-edition book that celebrates 10 years of documenting graffiti and visual culture in Los Angeles. It features previously unpublished material as well as highlights from the long out-of-print first 12 issues of this highly acclaimed publication.
Among those featured in this book are pioneers such as Tempt, Yem, Besk, and the MAK crew. This issue also focuses on aritsts influential in shaping current L.A. graffiti culture including Ayer, Atlas, and Hael. Work by street art innovator The Phantom, photographer Luna, and illustrator Patrick Martinez presents L.A. visual culture in a broader context.
Two on-going Lost sections are presented in this volume as well; the Lost Blackbook Project which collects rarely-seen sketches and drawings that give a unique look into the graffiti process; and Contrast Resolution, a visual exploration of the impact and effectiveness of graffiti on the streets.
Eyeone provides the introduction as well as an overview of issues past, and Ian Lynam rounds out this volume with a foreword that puts Lost in the context of graffiti, typography and design.
