The first-ever collection of works by a vibrant New York artist. Vagabond is an artist, writer, filmmaker, anarchist, and idealist from New York whose work is inflected by fine art, street art, and hip-hop. Nothing to Be Gained Here is the first collection of Vagabond's work, revealing it in all its breadth and diversity across a variety of media, including photography, painting, and drawing. Those works are set alongside Vagabond's poetry, essays, scripts, and interviews, a nod to the influence of the broadsides of the 1960s counterculture. The result is an all-encompassing view of an artist for whom the realms of daily life and creative work constantly overlap.
