Synopsis
This book is the first in-depth study of the still life as interpreted and transformed by avant-garde artists of the 20th century. Published to accompany a major exhibition opening in May 1997 at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, Objects of Desire traces a radical rethinking iof the genre ion terms of subject matter and formal invention.
Through unprecedented juxtapositions of works by 56 artist, Objects of Desire profiled the changing cultural values that are patently evident in the still life, reflected in the choice of objects -- from pitchers to bicycle wheels to soup cans -- and their perceptual or conceptual, objective or subversive representations.

Synopsis
Published to accompany an exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, this text re-evaluates the genre of "still life" in terms of both subject matter and style. Margit Rowell, Chief Curator of The Museum of Modern Art's Department of Drawings, explains the qualities which have made the genre so attractive and enduring to artists such as Matisse, Picasso, Oldenburg and Christo. Questioning the common view of the still life as a minor art form, Rowell demonstrates how the paintings offer a unique index of their maker's interests, formal concerns and times.

Issued in conjunction with an exhibition of the same name at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, May 25-Aug. 26, 1997, and the Hayward Gallery, London, Oct. 9, 1997-Jan. 4, 1998. This book is "an incisive exploration of the still life genre as artists have rediscovered and reshaped it in the twentieth century. The innovative purpose of so much of the art of these years has led to a sense of the period as quite hostile to older aesthetic conventions, many of which were widely attacked and abandoned; yet from the century's first decade to the present day, from Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse through to Cindy Sherman and Charles Ray, artists of many schools have made of the still life a vital opportunity for invention." (back cover) Presents 131 items, as well as explanatory commentary. Seller Inventory # 33387
