After years out of print, this re-issue of the 1995 Dreams once again reveals internationally renowned artist/writer Jim Shaw's innermost fears, obsessions and sexual fantasies. This bizarre journal takes the reader into the imagination of the Los Angeles-based artist through painstaking pencil drawings that bring the nocturnal world of this inventive, anti-elitist artist to life. Shaw is known for his preoccupation with dream imagery, pop culture and odd-ball, even pornographic, subject matter; his works span drawings, sculpture, prints and photos. This massive, diary-like picture book is an in-depth look at one of the most important facets of this seminal artist's work.

Color laminated hardcover, 8.5x11", 230 pages, 550 photos. 2016. "This, the third title by noted rail photographer and historian Jim Shaw, features an in depth look at the many shortlines operated in the Intermountain Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and Colorado between the 1950s and present. "There are forty-four shortlines presented by geographical areas. Each is presented with a brief history, and the many vivid color and crisp black and white photographs are comprehensively captioned. "The author's many days and long hours spent searching for, chasing and photographing these elusive shortline operations have paid off in this lavishly illustrated book. Many of these roads operate only once a day or even a couple of days per week - not the easiest train chasing! In this new title the author presents a great look at these historic and colorful shortline railroads."

Presses Du Reel

Published on the occasion of his retrospective at the Casino Luxembourg, Jim Shaw's Everything Must Go is the first catalogue to incorporate examples of the full range of the artist's profoundly original and idiosyncratic work. A survey of his career from 1974 to the present, Everything Must Go showcases his obsessive cultural cataloguing and the depth of his colorful, eccentric interior world. From the massive 170-piece multimedia work My Mirage, which traces the roller-coaster life of a white-bread American named Billy-a work that brought him international recognition-to Thrift Store Paintings, Dream Drawings, and Dream Objects, Shaw has consistently created a fantastic visual narrative that references myriad heterogeneous sources, moments of personal history, and fragments of our collective cultural consciousness. His highly individualized "outsider" perspective, which is situated in contemporary art discourse, as well as his focus on mainstream American culture have established Shaw as a seminal figure for young artists in Europe and the United States. Includes an extensive interview with Shaw by Mike Kelley.
