About the artwork
This work is a signed copy of the book *ALL GONE: The Finest of Street Culture 2005*, a publication that documents significant aspects of street culture from that year. The cover design features a dark background with abstract, swirling gray lines and shapes, characteristic of Futura’s visual language. A prominent red, spherical, tangled motif appears in the upper right quadrant of the front cover, providing a singular point of color contrast against the monochromatic palette. The title “ALL GONE” is rendered in bold white lettering, with “THE FINEST OF STREET CULTURE 2005” inscribed below it in a smaller, stylized font.
The “ALL GONE” series, published annually by La MJC and authored by Michael Dupouy, serves as a retrospective of the most notable products, collaborations, and trends within street culture. Each edition functions as a curated archive, capturing the essence of streetwear, design, and art from the preceding year. The inclusion of Futura’s signature on this particular edition elevates its status from a mere publication to a collectible art object, directly linking it to one of the pioneering figures of abstract street art.
Expert opinion
The street art market has grown, evolving from an underground subculture into a recognized segment of the broader art market. Artists like Futura, who emerged from the early graffiti scene, have seen their works gain institutional recognition and fetch high prices at major auction houses. While original canvases by Futura can fetch six-figure sums, signed limited-edition books and prints occupy a different segment of the market, appealing to a wider base of collectors interested in accessible entry points to an artist’s body of work and the cultural context of street art. The “ALL GONE” series itself is recognized as a collectible, with various editions often featuring collaborations with prominent artists on their covers, further solidifying their market position within the street culture collecting sphere.
About the artist
Leonard McGurr, aka Futura, was born in New York in 1955. Futura was one of the very first graffiti artists to break away from lettering in the early '80s and create abstract compositions. Futura soon developed a body of work on canvas, which he exhibited alongside artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring and Kenny Scharf. The key elements of the style we know today are already there: clouds of color with subtle variations, extremely fine lines that seem to scratch the surface, and above all that astonishing fluidity of execution that gives his works that distinctive atmospheric tone. His style and virtuosity have made Futura a key figure in the urban art scene, which has spanned the ages and made a mockery of simplistic categories. He is regularly invited to take part in projects and exhibitions by institutions around the world, including the Fondation Cartier pour l'Art Contemporain and the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, the MOCA in Los Angeles and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.
