This catalogue was published on the occasion of the exhibition "Steve Wolf on Paper", Whitney Museum of American Art, New York : September 30 - November 29, 2009 / The Menil Collection, Houston : April 2 - October 31, 2020. "Steve Wolfe, an internationally renowned artist whose best-known works are books or are they? died last month at his home in San Francisco. He was 60. Mr. Wolfe died alone, and neither the precise date, circa May 13, nor the precise cause, is known, his family said. A painter and sculptor, Mr. Wolfe brought a postmodern sensibility to the venerable tradition of trompe l'oeil, in which a work seeks to trick the eye by lending the illusion of three dimensions to a two-dimensional surface. His preferred subject matter was books, singly and by the boxful, their creased, age-stained, sometimes Scotch-taped covers exuding companionable familiarity: "The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas," by Gertrude Stein; "Farewell, My Lovely," by Raymond Chandler; James Joyce's "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man"; the emblematic "Remembrance of Things Past," by Proust; and the perhaps even more emblematic "Speak, Memory," by Vladimir Nabokov. But though Mr. Wolfe's screened-printed jacket designs and typefaces impeccably recreated those of the original volumes, his books were not books but paintings playful, thoughtful one-offs designed to be hung on gallery walls. As such, they became potent emblems of nostalgia, binding up (although they had no bindings) wistful longing for the beloved bibliographic companions of years gone by. Reviewing an exhibition of Mr. Wolfe's work at the Luhring Augustine gallery in Manhattan in 2003, Holland Cotter wrote in The New York Times: "Mr. Wolfe has been creating his bibliographical art for years, and it has not escaped accusations of preciousness. In my view it is saved, even elevated, by its conceptual smarts, which are acute and to which technical finesse is not incidental. Mr. Wolfe offers us work of 20th-century giants of fictional self-scrutiny, James Joyce and Proust among them, but as blocks of unopenable matter." He added: "In short, the histories trapped in the work are what warm up the optical tours de force." Mr. Wolfe, whose art is in the collections of major museums, including the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Art Institute of Chicago and the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, also turned his hand to the fondly remembered long-playing records of his youth. In his versions rendered on board in oils and enamels the labels have been faithfully reproduced and the well-worn grooves painstakingly incised by hand."(The New York Times). "For more than two decades, Steve Wolfe (19552016) created sculptures and drawings of astounding craft and visual presence. Wolfe re-created worn books and used records, primarily from the 1960s and 1970s, that influenced his own personal and artistic sensibilities. Working in the tradition of trompe l'oeil, Wolfe created pieces that quite literally "fool the eye" on first inspection. Using a variety of materials and processes, including oil, acrylic, screen printing, lithography, modeling paste, canvas, wood and aluminum, Wolfe sculpted and painted precise and exacting three-dimensional replicas of books and records that possess a personal significance. Iconic titles include Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray, Dostoyevsky's Notes From Underground, Alfred Barr's Cubism and Abstract Art and The Beatles' Revolver. These tattered books and worn LPs are tangible manifestations of a fertile moment in American intellectual history. Wolfe's faithful reconstructions evoke an unexpected play between humble self-effacement and culture's powerful capacity to have impact on one's existence. Steve Wolfe's work has been collected by numerous prominent public and private collections, including The Whit.

Hardcover. Condición: New. In shrinkwrap. Quarto. Hardcover. Illustrated boards. No jacket as issued. 183 pages : illustrations (chiefly color), portraits ; 29 cm. "Chryssa & New York offers a timely reassessment of Greek-born artist Chryssa (Chryssa Vardea-Mavromichali, 1933-2013). Chryssa was a leading figure in the postwar New York art world and in the use of signage, text, and neon, yet her work, which bridges Pop, Conceptual, and Minimalist approaches to art making, remains under-recognized. Focusing on the artist's early career, in particular her time in New York from the 1950s to the 1970s, this book charts the emergence of her singular aesthetic, especially her formal innovations with neon, and culminates in the development of her monumental and rarely seen installation The Gates to Times Square (1964-66). Essays situate Chryssa's art alongside that of other New York-based practitioners in the 1950s and 1960s, consider her work through the lenses of queer theory and the Greek diaspora, and uncover her crucial influence on light art today. Rounding out the volume, a conversation on the technical aspects of her practice and a comprehensive chronology make this the definitive publication on Chryssa for years to come."--.

Yet even those who have marveled at Serra's intellectually rigorous and large works of sculpture may not be familiar with his equally intriguing drawings. This handsome book brings together for the first time Serra's drawn work, considering the artist's investigation of medium as an activity both independent from and linked to his pioneering sculptural practice. First working in ink, charcoal, and lithographic crayon on paper, Serra originally used drawing as a means to explore form and perceptual relations between his sculpture and the viewer. Over time, his drawings underwent significant shifts in concept, materials, and scale and became fully realized and autonomous works of art. The grand, bold forms he created with black paintstick in his monumental Installation Drawings were designed to disrupt and complement existent spaces and eventually began to occupy entire rooms. In the late 1980s, Serra explored the tension of weight and gravity through layering, and his most recent work experiments with surface effects, using mesh screens as intermediaries between the gesture and the transfer of pigment to paper." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Drawing as drawing, by Michelle White; Drawing thick: Serra's black, by Richard Shiff; Interrogating the tradition: the drawings of Richard Serra, by Bernice Rose; Beyond constructivism: Richard Serra's drawings, by Magdalena Dabrowski; Notes on drawing, by Richard Serra; About drawing: an interview (1977), by Lizzie Borden; An interview with Richard Serra (2010), by Gary Garrels; Plates; A drawing chronology, by Michelle White.
