Seller's Description:
New. Compiling four-hundred-plus unique works of art, this volume traces the shifts and developments in conceptual artist John Baldessari's work from 1975-86. It covers his photo-based works such as the 'Strobe, ' 'Word Chain, ' and 'Pathetic Fallacy' series from 1975; the 'Violent Space' and the seminal 'Concerning Diachronic/Synchronic Time: Above, On, Under (With Mermaid), ' from 1976; and the 'Blasted Allegories' series from 1977-78, which drew heavily from the artist's vast collection of photo stills taken from commercial television. In the 1980s, Baldessari's art took a different direction, beginning with the expansive 'Fugitive Essays' triptychs from 1980 and leading to 1982's photographic interpretations of Grimm's Fairy Tales. Building on these themes, Baldessari began producing a body of work that was inspired in part by dreams, psychology, film, and popular culture. Ensuing works were more formal, elaborate, and large-scale. From 1984 to 1986 Baldessari created a number of works that employed his soon-to-be-signature colored discs painted over people's faces in the photos. An introductory critical essay will provide a close reading of selected works and a historical context for understanding Baldessari's art from this period. A detailed chronology and exhibition history and bibliography are also included. The second in a projected four-volume series of the complete catalogue of works by John Baldessari
