Specimen San Diego. By Mark Quint
November 26, 2010
Located within the former Bay Park studio of Italo Scanga lies the Specimen shop, a retail side project of Quint Contemporary Art owner, Mark Quint. Although serving as a temporary outpost, the shop is an extension of its online counterpart—selling books, prints, photographs, paintings and other carefully selected goods by Mark Quint.
Aside form the art, the majority of the inventory is vintage. Supreme skateboard decks designed by contemporary artists such as John Baldessari and Ryan McGinness are just as likely to be available as a series of 60′s surf prints by Ron Church. A well-stocked library of out-of-print hardcovers are also available at bargain prices.

Below, Neill Orje scrummages through the vast selection of used art catalogs and books. He ended up picking up an 89-year-old book of poems that I forgot the name of.
