Product Description
Book Description
Fine Art Limited Editions, A Catalogue Raisonn‚ presents the complete prints and posters of Josh Agle, a.k.a. Shag, the Californiabased artist whose bold, bright, irreverent takes on the swingin’ styles and of jetsetters, cocktaillounge crawlers, scenestealing supervillains and (literal) party animals have made him one of the most popular painters working today. Shag’s paintings have seen heavy demand and rising prices, so Agle turned to high quality limitededition prints beginning in 1999. Collected here for the first time, these 175 prints document the evolution of color, content and composition in Shag’s work with illustrated essays. Chronologically arranged and annotated with information on size, print run and date of publishing, straight from the artist’s own archives, here are Shag's long soldout limited edition serigraphs, offset lithos and etchings.

Josh Agle, a.k.a. SHAG, is a gifted artist, with a fun view of the Space-Age Era (late50s-60s).Odd characters, cultural icons & tiki culture are depicted in a distinct & likable style, sparkling with wit.
Buy this, then his prints!

A Great Resource for a Great Artist's Works, Nov 7 2009

This review is from: Shag, Ltd. (Hardcover)
I have been a fan of the low brow art movement for quite some time, and Josh Agle, SHAG, is one of the best. His work is inspired by 50's print advertising, tiki, lounge, and Rat Pack lifestyle motifs. This book, also available in softcover, is a catalogue of his works through 2006. As there are a lot of not so reputable dealers on the internet who offer to sell SHAG's works and prints under value, this catalogue was created with the idea of curbing the sales of copies of the works, to show what the originals look like. SHAG's art is fun and whimsical, I am fortunate to own some of his prints and met him at his Chicago show 2 years ago, he is an exceptional artist, as well as a very nice individual to meet in person.
