In 2017, Mark Ryden, the "Godfather of Pop Surrealism," tackled a new
medium: ballet. In partnership with American Ballet Theatre (ABT), he
created "Whipped Cream," a new masterpiece that has since become a part
of the theatre's classic repertoire.


Featuring interviews with and commentaries from principal
dancers-including Misty Copleland, David Hallberg, Stella Abrera,
Gillian Murphy, and Daniil Simkin-and members of the creative team, The Art of Whipped Cream showcases
Ryden's amazing concept art as well as paintings made specifically for
this publication. Follow Mark Ryden's process from initial drawings to

costumes to backdrops and accessories, you'll be able to observe and
experience the show through exclusive images as if you were sitting in
