The catalogue explores the late artists work by taking up his interpretations of capitalism and cultural imperialism as they relate to art in American culture. Created at the threshold of the twenty-first century, Majeruss works expound on themes of transformation. They are characterized by his fascination with speed, his passion for technology, youth culture, and art history and his perception of the power of art and institutions. This monograph provides a novel look at the artists brief but dynamic and prolific career. Highlighting Majeruss timely reflection on and criticism of the pervasiveness of images, one of the books focal points is his look on the collaboration between Jean-Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol.
