Synopsis
Al Taylor was an artist whose intimate view of the world was explored using any media available. Constantly observing whatever was around him, from pet stains on urban streets to styrofoam floats washed up on a Hawaiian beach, he deftly abstracted simple objects and imagery into a unique body of work that is both complex and humorous. Only 51 at the time of his death in 1999, the artist worked as a painter and draftsman until the mid-1980s, when he began constructing three-dimensional pieces to expand the pictorial plane. Approaching his three-dimensional work and drawing with the same whimsical intensity, he willfully dismissed any distinction between these mediums. For Taylor, his constructions are spatial drawings that provide a multitude of views. Each work is an investigative mapping of his thoughts and perceptions across several dimensions that configures fluid spaces through the rhythmic movement of his compositions.

hardcover. Condition: As New. Prima edizione (First Edition). Volume pubblicato in occasione della mostra tenutasi presso la Zwirner & Wirth Gallery, New York 9 gennaio - 1 marzo 2008. Un testo di Robert Storr. Intervista di Ulrich Loock all'artista. Illustrazioni a colori. Biografia . Cm 29x23. pp. 142. . Perfetto (Mint). . Prima edizione (First Edition). . Al Taylor era un artista la cui visione intima del mondo veniva esplorata usando qualsiasi mezzo disponibile. Osservando costantemente tutto ciò che lo circondava, dalle cacche di animali domestici sulle strade urbane ai galleggianti di polistirolo spiaggiati su una spiaggia hawaiana, astraeva abilmente oggetti e immagini semplici in un corpo di lavoro unico che è sia complesso che umoristico. L'artista ha lavorato come pittore e disegnatore fino alla metà degli anni '80, quando ha iniziato a costruire opere tridimensionali per espandere il piano pittorico. Avvicinandosi al suo lavoro tridimensionale e al disegno con la stessa intensità capricciosa, ha volontariamente respinto qualsiasi distinzione tra questi mezzi. Per Taylor, le sue "costruzioni" sono disegni spaziali che forniscono una moltitudine di punti di vista. Book. Seller Inventory # bc_226227

Al Taylor; Early Works
Seller: BWS BKS, Ferndale, NY, U.S.A.
Seller rating 2 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: New. Al Taylor, who died in 1999 at the age of 51, was inspired by literally whatever was around--from a dog stain on a Paris street to a Styrofoam float washed up on a Hawaiian beach. He saw abstract forms in quotidian detritus, creating a complex and humorous body of work consisting of paintings, drawings and sculpture, which he called "constructions." His use of simple materials like hot rolled steel, wire, Xerox toner and correction fluid was a perfect match for such subject matter. Approaching this three-dimensional work with the same balance of intensity and whimsy with which he made his drawings, Taylor willfully dismissed any distinction between the two media. In fact, he thought of his constructions as spatial drawings with a multitude of views. This fully illustrated monograph, which includes an extensive overview of Taylor's oeuvre, is published concurrently with an exhibition at Zwirner & Wirth, New York. Seller Inventory # 77765
