Seller's Description:
Like New. No Dustjacket as Issued. Limited to 2500 copies. With brief gift inscription by Cumming, and Editor. Signed copies rarely offered. Robert H. Cumming (1943 December 16, 2021) was an American painter, sculptor, photographer, and printmaker best known for his photographs of conceptual drawings and constructions, which layer meanings within meanings, and reference both science and art history. The Difficulties of Nonsense features Cumming's conceptual black-and-white and color photographs from the 1970s, revealing his fascination with illusion and trickery. From his base in Los Angeles, Cumming made functional-looking constructions, rendered useless and created primarily to be photographed with his 8-by-10 camera. Playing with props, proportions, unusual angles, light, and mirrors, the images invite viewers to look in-and then to second-guess what they see. As the first publication to survey this significant series, The Difficulties of Nonsense serves as a touchstone for contemporary artists and for those interested in artwork that came out of Los Angeles in the 1970s. With an essay by Sarah Bay Gachot and an interview by David Campany, this monograph pays homage to a time when Cumming, and many in the photographic community, worked to playfully push the boundaries of photography and narrative. Features Robert Cumming's conceptual black-and-white and color photographs from the 1970s, revealing his fascination with illusion and trickery.
