Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Tender portraiture of the artists wife and muse set against the backdrop of their honeymoon in ThailandAmerican painter Jenna Gribbon (born 1978) is best known for her tender and intimate portraits of her wife, Mackenzie Scott. The Honeymoon Show! juxtaposes scenes from the couples honeymoon in Thailand against a new series of theatrically posed portraits of Scott, a musician who performs under the name Torres.

Original Printed Wrappers. Condition: Very Good+. First Edition Thus. Large Quarto; 48 pages; Clean and secure in original bright yellow wrappers with large silver lettering. Catalogue of Exhibition at Waddington Custot Galleries, London, 13 November - 13 December 2014. Brilliant, intense colour reproductions of the works exhibited. The Exhibition included nineteen of Frank Stella's rarely-seen, unique colour variants based on his 1982-1984 print series Illustrations after El Lissitzky's Had Gadya. Created in 1985, these colour variants explore further hand-painted colour arrangements and printings using the remaining compositional plates and collage elements from the print edition. The selected works in this exhibition will show a complete group of Stella's Illustrations after El Lissitzky's Had Gadya alongside variations from within the series. In 1919, Russian avant-garde artist El Lissitzky (1890-1941) created a series of gouaches illustrating the traditional Jewish Passover song, Had Gadya (The Only Kid). Having seen these gouaches in the Tel Aviv Museum in 1981, Stella was fascinated by the movement and vibrancy El Lissitzky had created whilst using simplified, graphic forms. On his return to New York, Stella produced his print series illustrating, as Lissitzky had done, each line of the song. Over the course of two years, Stella utilised multiple printing methods including lithography, linoleum block, silkscreen, and rubber relief with collage elements and hand-colouring to create a series of twelve prints which were published by Waddington Graphics, London, at the end of 1984. After completing the edition, Stella created between two and nine variants of each of the twelve Had Gadya illustrations and the works in this exhibition are selected from these. Each continues the technically complex composition but is unique in the different combinations of vibrant colours and printings. The Had Gadya series is pivotal in Stella's work with the introduction of both the 'wave' motif, which inspired the seminal Moby-Dick series and his Cones and Pillars iconography. This exhibition offers an alternate view of the entire Had Gadya series and, viewed side by side, it is possible to see Stella's varying levels of printing and experimentation with colour; tracking his thought processes and innovative, ambitious use of colour and form.…

Hardback. Condition: New. 'Rediscover punk rock and your inner child at this memorable show.' ***** Review of Yoshitomo Nara, Hayward Gallery - Evening Standard Dive into the captivating, creative world of Yoshitomo Nara in the largest European retrospective of one of Japan's most celebrated artists. Accompanies the first UK solo exhibition at a public institution by the Japanese artist Yoshitomo Nara. Spanning four decades of the artist's work, it offers readers a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the personal and creative world of this internationally acclaimed artist. Yoshitomo Nara primarily identifies as a painter while working across a wide range of mediums, such as drawing, collage, sculpture, installation and materials including found objects, cardboard, wood, plaster, textile, ceramic and fibreglass. He is widely known for his bold images of children with large heads and wide eyes that challenge the viewers with their direct gaze and defiant stance. These captivating yet ominous characters are part of a wider visual vocabulary established by Nara to explore and communicate themes of home, isolation, resilience, belonging, regeneration, hope and freedom. Organised thematically, the book provides a comprehensive overview of the evolution and breadth of Nara's artistic expression. It conveys Nara's singular aesthetic drawn from his formative experiences in Japan and his time in Germany, as well as his ongoing environmental and societal concerns, which are deeply rooted in nature and the communities of Japan's northern Tohoku region, where he grew up. Memories as a continuous flow runs through Nara's work. This is in parallel with the inspiration he takes from popular music, which he has been listening to since childhood - folk songs by American singer-songwriters featuring antiwar messages, melancholic blues and, later, glam rock, punk and new wave. The Hayward Gallery presentation is an expanded version of the touring exhibition from the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, and Museum Frieder Burda, Baden-Baden. It features a group of Nara's most recent paintings, including several new works.…
