About this title

Synopsis

There are teenage smokers and drinkers. There are those whose despondence is clearly evident as they confront the

camera with vacant eyes. This, quite simply put, is The Golden Age of Neglect - a classic example of Ed Templeton's work which is deeply anchored in street life and street style, music (rock, punk, and rap), and graphic culture (wall paintings, murals, tags, and graffiti). This is the vision of an artist who crosses the realms of art, sports, sex, drugs, violence, fashion, and youth. A fixture of the Los Angeles skateboarding scene, Ed Templeton has been producing photographs, documenting a real story of his life, international tours, and encounters in the skateboarding world for over 10 years. 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, sketch books and collages to montages and correspondence. This book is the reprint of the original version, which quickly rose to cult status shortly after its first printing in 2003.

About the Author

Ed Templeton is an artist, photographer and skateboarder. In 2000, Ed's art world fame snowballed, culminating in a $50,000 Grand Prize in an Italian art contest for his Teenage Smokers series in 2000 - and a solo art show called Situation Comedy in 2002 at Museum Het Domein in Sittard, Netherlands.
