Jerry Hsu – The Beautiful Flower is the World

Second Edition

In 2009, legendary skateboarder & artist Jerry Hsu began a blog as a repository for the cell phone photos he'd been collecting alongside his more traditional work. In the ensuing years, the site grew from an exercise in visual note-taking into a hysterical embodiment of both his keen artistic sense & his razor-sharp wit. An unerringly creative & clever chronicle of the deep ironies of our modern world, this title collects the best of Hsu’s blog photography into a compelling and immersive whole.

Documenting his journeys through the high and low trappings of our culture, Hsu’s work captures everything from bootleg t-shirts and bathroom stall graffiti to unexpected truths and the occasional startling moment of humanity.

288 pages, 16.5 x 24.1 cm, hardcover, Anthology Editions (New York).
