Then and There, Here and Now is the first comprehensive survey on the oeuvre of Richard McGuire, an artist known for his graphic elegance, intelligent conceptuals and delight in experimentation. The book coincides with an exhibition at the Cartoon Museum in Basel in 2024.
Richard McGuire is an outstanding figure in the world of contemporary comics. His notoriety began in the early 1980s when he travelled around New York attaching original artworks and posters advertising to walls around the city for his band Liquid Liquid. In the 1990s he moved into commercial illustration as well as creating his own children’s books, games and toys. Later McGuire produced animated films and comic books. In 2024 a film of his graphic novel ‘Here’ achieved a cinema release.
