The Golden Age of Neglect is the first of its kind in its ability to intimately explore the fascinating skate culture that defines the streets of Los Angeles. It is a classic example of Ed Templeton’s work which is deeply anchored in urban life, street style, music, and graphic culture. n the book, this intriguing artist presents an exclusive view into his world where his despondent subjects confront the camera with vacant eyes as they engage in excessive debauchery. Fuelled by incredible raw energy, irreverence, and spontaneity, his work is comprised of an extraordinary number of photographs and canvases, as well as a body of graphic work from drawings, sketchbooks, and collages to montage and correspondence.
This publication accompanies the exhibition, Ed Templeton - The Essential Disturbance, October 3 - November 17, 2002, at the Palais de Tokyo, Paris France.
