Hauser & Wirth just announced the publication of a two-volume artist book by Paul McCarthy and his son Damon McCarthy, which presents photographic documentation of ‘Frigate’ and ‘Houseboat,’ two works first begun in 2001 that take the lawlessness of piracy as a departure point. The title also includes ‘Catching Mayhem by Its Tail,’ a new text by John C. Welchman.
