At, With and About: Through the Blighted Lens of Glenn Bray

In his new memoir, collector and editor Glenn Bray focuses on the potent post-war landscape of the San Fernando Valley.

For over 50 years, Glenn Bray has been shining a spotlight on some of the most outrageous, powerful, and subversive art made in the 20th century. He was the first to note and preserve what amounts to an alternative history of American pop culture.

In At, With and About, he turns his focus on the potent post-war landscape of the San Fernando Valley’s washed-up entertainers, suburbs, and Hollywood debris that lit the fuse for a life of endless aesthetic engagement. Bray met and befriended some of the most wild and woolly icons of outré culture as well as fellow travelers, collectors, and dealers that make up the world of So Cal pop history. With all-new artist interviews and Bray’s own large-format photographs, this book bears graphic witness to it all with hundreds of images tracing his life of collecting art and befriending artists.
