By Ryan McGinness

A collaboration with The Standard Hotel Los Angeles (2011)

The Blacklight Nudie Cards, the first of their kind and graphically tied to the Women Blacklight Paintings and installations, are a full deck of poker-sized playing cards designed by McGinness and based on vintage nudie cards.

The cards are best enjoyed under blacklights that emit only a frequency in the invisible range of 350-370 nm. The fluorescent inks used in the printing of these cards absorb this ultraviolet light and then re-emit it almost instantaneously.

Each card in the deck of 56 has a unique face designed by the artist; the reverse side of each card is one of McGinness’s “black hole” paintings
