[the book] catalogues his out put...Intricate, mathematical, and modern." ~ Gotham Magazine "Ryan McGinness has been drinking some special water. He's been in and in and in. This is his new book on the Rizzoli label." ~ Giant Robot "...It's Magnificent. And I do mean that 'Magnificent' with the tone of some twill-vest wearing Englishman adjusting his monacle and sitting up to take notice - it's awesome. While filled with excellent images of Ryan's work and a smattering of high-profile commentaries and interviews..." ~Blacklodges.com "Ryan McGinness seems to make his art in all media. He's a graphic designer, painter, printmaker, skateboard designer, logo maker, environmental signologist, identity strategist and button maker... [This book] contains a short but illuminating interview (by the artist Peter Halley), a breathless insider's essay by a former assistant (Greg Lindquist), an indulgent conversation between McGinness and David Byrne, a serious study of McGinness's 'ontology of color' (by Jonathan T.D. Neil) and another Q. and A., consisting of 500 speed questions (asked by Tom Greenwood, a neighboor of McGinness's in Chinatown)... This is not McGinness's first monograph, but it is the one I will pore over more than once." ~ New York Times Book Review
