Hat & Beard Press joined with Fahey/Klein Gallery, the foremost photography gallery in Los Angeles, to produce The Mash Up, which fuses Janette Beckman's iconic hip-hop portraits with graffiti-based interpretations by a wide-ranging selection of graffiti artists curated by Cey Adams, among them Crash, Futura, Lady Pink, Lee Quinones, Queen Andrea, Revolt, Todd James and Zephyr. The portraits show New York hip-hop pioneers such as Run DMC, Slick Rick, Salt-N-Pepa, Grandmaster Flash and LL Cool J, and the pages shown online include Keith Haring. The pages show the portraits overpainted with lettering, bright colour and collaged paper, and the book exists with two alternative covers, one in green and one in orange.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
