Book Description
Through the poetic clash of everyday materials, diverse surfaces, pop colors and patterns galore, Jessica Stockholder has achieved an aesthetic that is at once hot pink, wooly, artificial and quilted. Somewhere in between assemblage and painting, her three-dimensional installations and reliefs violently juxtapose the everyday with the strange, the banal with the familiar, opposites with similarities, the artificial with the natural, kitsch with class, glitz with frumpiness. Found objects from flea markets sit atop mass products from department stores, the whole a whirlwind of narrative suggestion and abstract color and form. This volume features documentation of many of Stockholder's temporary installations as well as reproductions of her drawings. Essays by Christoph Brockhaus, John Yau, Armin Zweite, Gottlieb Leinz and Pia Müller-Tamm. Hardcover, 9 x 12 in./128 pgs / 48 color 0 BW0 duotone 0 ~ Item D20040
