Reviews

"Some of Not Yet's images are windows into a New York of another era."
i-D Magazine

"Dubbed Not Yet, the tome takes a look back at Marcopoulos four-plus decades of raw, convention-breaking work and documents everything from skateboarding, snowboarding, and hip-hop to celebrities, artistic portraits and stark landscapes alike."
HYPEBEAST.COM

"The joy of Not Yet is that it feels like a map of the artists mind, taking along journeys into foreign and familiar worlds."
Crave Online

"Not Yet is an expansive collection of his work, over 300 pages full of both iconic and never before published photographs, with the book being organized in an intimate way. Marcopoulos enlists some of his closest friends and family to curate chapters of his book, 'I wanted a point of view on my work to come from someone other than myselfI invited friends and peers of mine to select images, curating individuals chapters as if they were making a zine of my work like the ones Ive been doing for decades'."
Musee Magazine

"What ties [the photos] together is the Dutch artists skewed take on the world: 'I photograph abstract things,' he says in the books Q&A, 'but I also abstract the things I photograph.'"
Jack Crager, American Photo
