I dedicate this book to my son Davide, whose life and creativity never cease to amaze me after all these years, and to my loving family and the SKE Crew. Francesca Sorrenti (mother of David Sorrenti, the photographer). The book is a retrospective of her son’s work that more than supports Schnabel’s claim. (SKE stands for See Know Evil, the moniker that Sorrenti and his gang of friends and cohorts adopted, while Argue was his graffiti tag.) Naturalistic, authentic, and compelling, the images of Frankie Rayder, Milla Jovovich, Carolyn Murphy, and his girlfriend Jaime King, whom he was shooting editorially for the likes of Interview and Detour magazines, reflect the ’90s New York Sorrenti was living in. It was a city still in the shadows of a decimating 1987 recession and pulsing with rap, grunge, and skateboarding—cultures he knew intimately.

Hardcover under illustrated dust jacket, 31 x 28.5 cm, First edition, text in English, colors and black and white photographs, beautifully designed by Francesca Sorrenti, in very good condition other than a tiny scratch on the jacket.
