Booklabel of Simon Lee, Near Fine in publishers decorated wrappers. This extensive exhibition spanning four generations explores the myriad ways in which artists have employed the impulsive yet de-personalized and non-gestural forces of spray. It begins with Paul Klee's work on paper Seltsames Theater (1929), where he improvised with a blowpipe to achieve hazy background effects in a circus scene. This tentative experiment presaged the bold and diverse artistic licence that would come with the post-war advent of aerosol paint as a consumer product and the use of the industrial paint compressor. With work by, among many others, Tauba Auerbach, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Kim Gordon, Katharina Grosse, Anish Kapoor, Harmony Korine, Takashi Murakami, and Ed Ruscha. ISBN 9781938748189.…
