Artists’ Fanzines Art Basel Book

Published on the occasion of the 2010 “Artists’ Fanzines” exhibition at Art Basel, Jason Polan’s own 8-page fanzine is a celebration of the medium that also provides visitors (and would-be visitors) with a hand-drawn index of the zines included in the show. Using his signature style that synthesizes various objects into rounded and essentialized forms, Polan creates thumbnail sketches of zines by Ryan Foerster, Stefan Marx, Yuri Shibuya, Ari Marcopoulos, Mark Gonzales, Raymond Pettibon, Lisa Anne Auerbach, Tom Sachs, Susan Cianciolo, and Polan himself.
