This comprehensive monograph spans the artist’s career, blending his studio practice with his work as an in-demand editorial photographer working regularly for the New Yorker, New York magazine, Time, and GQ, among others, and features his conceptual portraits of Black cultural icons such as Solange, Amanda Gorman, and Michael B. Jordan. As Erizku recently told the New York Times, “It’s important for me to create confident, powerful, downright regal images of Black people.”

Featuring essays by critically acclaimed author Ishmael Reed, curator Ashley James, and writer Doreen St. Félix, and interviews with the artist by Urs Fischer and Antwaun Sargent, Mystic Parallax is a luminous and arresting testament to the artist’s tremendous power and originality."
 

A brand new, most handsome example of this spectacularly designed and produced first monograph additionally signed "Awol Erizku" in ink on the front pastedown.

(FRANCIS, SAM). Selz, Gabrielle. Berkeley, CA: University of California Press, 2021. First Edition. 8vo. Cloth in Pictorial Dust Jacket. Artist Biography. As New/As New. 0-520-31071-3

392pp, 22 b&w and 11 color photos illustrations. "Light on Fire" is the first comprehensive biography of Sam Francis, one of the most important American abstract artists of the twentieth century. Based on Gabrielle Selz’s unprecedented access to Francis' files, as well as private correspondence and hundreds of interviews, this book traces the extraordinary and ultimately tragic journey of a complex and charismatic artist who first learned to paint as a former air-corps pilot encased for three years in a full-body cast. While still a young man, Francis saw his color-saturated paintings fetch the highest prices of any living artist. His restless desire resulted in five marriages and homes on three continents; his entrepreneurial spirit led to founding a museum, a publishing company, a reforestation program and several nonprofit organizations. "Light on Fire" captures the art, life, personality, and talent of a man whom the art historian and museum director William C. Agee described as a rare artist participating in the “visionary reconstruction of art history,” defying creative boundaries among the likes of Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Willem de Kooning. With settings from World War II San Francisco to postwar Paris, New York, Tokyo, and Los Angeles, Selz crafts an intimate portrait of a man who sought to resolve in art the contradictions he couldn’t resolve in life." A brand new, most handsome example of the first edition of this engaging study.

As New/As New. 412pp, profusely illustrated in color and b&w. Text in English. Designed by Pascal Dangin. With a chronology, bibliography and exhibition history. "Felix Gonzalez-Torres, one of the most influential artists of his generation, lived and worked resolutely according to his own democratic ideology, determined to "make this a better place for everyone." Combining principles of conceptual art, minimalism, political activism and poetic beauty, Gonzalez-Torres's ever-changing arsenal included public billboards, give-away piles of candy or posters, and ordinary objects (clocks, mirrors, light fixtures) often used to startling effect. His work challenged the notions of public and private space, originality, authorship and most significantly, the authoritative structure in which he functioned. In the spirit of the artist's method, Julie Ault has amassed a comprehensive monograph of this important artist that rethinks the very idea of what a monograph should be. The book places strong emphasis on the written word, and contains texts by Robert Storr, Robert Nickas, Russell Ferguson, Lewis Baltz, Nancy Spector, Joseph Kosuth, and Miwon Kwon among other notables, as well as significant critical essays, exhibition statements, transcripts from lectures, personal correspondence, and writings that influenced Gonzalez-Torres and his work. With ample visual documentation, we see works not just in their finality, but often witness their transformation over a lifespan. This collection is a critical reference for the history of contemporary art". A brand new, most handsome example of the 2006 first edition. 3-86521-196-8 Inventory Number: 025024
