New at Reason: Greg Beato on Juxtapoz Magazine and the Lowbrow Art Revolution
As
Juxtapoz magazine celebrates its 100th issue and its 15th
anniversary this month, it boasts the highest circulation of any
U.S. art magazine, beating out more established counterparts like
Art News, Art in America, and ArtForum.
The style of art it emphasizes—most commonly short-handed as Pop
Surrealism or Lowbrow—has spawned an ever-widening network of
galleries and publications, and even some fairly tony museum
exhibitions. Its most coveted practitioners command as much as
$800,000 for original works. Which isn’t bad, writes Contributing
Editor Greg Beato, for a genre that has consistently positioned
itself as the domain of outlaws and outsiders.
