Couverture rigide. Condition: Comme neuf. Edition originale. New York , 2018. Hardback , Quarto size . Reliure éditeur illustrée. Format in-4° ------ 533 pages . ********************* ""This volume covers six years, from 2005 - 2010, in which Baldessari created a total of 361 unique works-comprising eight discrete series, most with multiple parts or, to borrow a musical phrase, "movements." The majority of the works from this period have as their subject the face and body: noses, ears, arms, legs, elbows, knees, eyes, eyebrows, foreheads, hands, and feet. We might entertain this as the artist finally revealing to the viewer what he previously had taken such great pains to conceal and obscure with his trademark colored disks and erasures. Perhaps this is partly true, but since his earliest days as an artist, Baldessari has never felt comfortable providing the viewer with the full picture. "" ********************* ref fav-08-75379.

Couverture rigide. Condition: Comme neuf. Edition originale. New York , 2016. Hardback , Quarto size . Reliure éditeur illustrée. Format in-4° ------ 552 pages . ********************* "" A comprehensive look at works made by Baldessari between the years 1987 and 1993 This handsome volume, the third of the John Baldessari (b. 1931) catalogue raisonne project, compiles 400-plus unique works of art made by the influential conceptual artist from 1987 through 1993. Here we see the artist s large-scale photo-based works, many of which employed his signature colored discs painted over the faces of people in the photos, accompanied by entries that trace the shifts and developments in Baldessari s work as his collaged photo narratives achieved maturity and mastery. A critical essay by Briony Fer provides a close reading of selected works, giving historical context for Baldessari s art from this period. In addition to a detailed chronology, complete exhibition history, and bibliography, this volume notably features a previously unpublished conversation between Baldessari and the artist Ed Ruscha, which was undertaken specifically for this publication. In the conversation, the artists discuss their early careers in Southern California and the shared thematic concerns in their work. The artworks in this volume demonstrate Baldessari s ability to express-and, in many cases, combine-the narrative potential of images and the associative power of language within the boundaries of a single piece. ************************** ref fav-08-75379.

Couverture rigide. Condition: Comme neuf. Edition originale. New York , 2012. Hardback , Quarto size . Reliure éditeur illustrée. Format in-4° ------ 496 pages . ********************* "" The pioneering conceptual artist John Baldessari (b. 1931) began his career as a painter in the 1950s, but in the subsequent decades he expanded his practice in a new and groundbreaking direction by juxtaposing texts with found photography or appropriated images. These texts questioned the nature of art and the art-viewing experience, suggesting new meanings for the images they accompanied. This interaction of words and images remained a critical aspect of Baldessari s work, even as he branched into other media, such as site-specific installations, drawings, video, sculpture, prints, and multiples. The first of a projected four-volume set, this lavishly illustrated book features about 500 works and chronicles an important shift in Baldessari s thinking during these formative years. Included are such landmark works as the Cremation Project (1970), where Baldessari incinerated the body of work he had made between the years 1953 and 1966. The ashes of the cremated works were then baked into cookies, and the rest sealed in a book-shaped urn, which he then presented along with a plaque announcing the life and death dates. Baldessari s work and teaching have been greatly influential on a subsequent generation of artists. The book features an essay by Yve-Alain Bois considering Baldessari s ethos as a generator of his artistic practice. Also included are an interview with Christopher Knight and a detailed chronology of the artist s life and work. ************************** ref fav-08-75379.
