This substantial new catalogue is a major addition to existing scholarship on the important American artist James Rosenquist. Featuring numerous gatefold images, different papers and a silk ribbon, it contains commissioned essays by Carter Ratcliff--who argues that to label Rosenquist a Pop artist is to deny the complexity of his oeuvre and diminish his achievement--and Sarah Bancroft, who suggests that the notion of abstraction is key to understanding all of Rosenquist's work, from 1960 onward, and not just the "overtly abstract" paintings of the past seven years. In addition, in a wide-ranging interview with Scott Rothkopf, the artist discusses the place of political engagement in his work, the importance of collage, his ongoing fascination with time and the element of excitement: "It's like taking drugs. It has to be exciting to be able to paint it. You have to feel it's worthwhile doing it, to really pull it off."

This title contains essays by Carter Ratcliff and Sarah Bancroft. James Rosenquist is one of the most important American artists of the past fifty years and a leading figure within the Pop Art movement of the 1960s. This publication and exhibition at Haunch of Venison, London, sets out to present the breadth and richness of Rosenquist's oeuvre. While including several groundbreaking works of Pop Art, it also features the astonishing series of 'abstract' paintings he has made since 1999. "His art is the product of New York, of its styles and attitudes, relentlessly clashing, its vertiginous architecture and the hectic intimacy of its streets." - Carter Ratcliff. It also includes an interview with the artist by Scott Rothkopf.
