Book Description: 1995. Paperback. Book Condition: New. FLAWLESS COPY - AVAILABLE IMMEDIATELY, WHY WAIT? -- 40 pp., 81 black-and-white illus. Catalogue for the exhibition, organized by Allison B. Leader, presented at the Yale University Art Gallery (January 20 - March 26, 1995). Catalogue edited by Lesley K. Baier. With essays by Leader and Richard S. Field. This catalogue of a "museum experiment" presents sixteenth- and seventeenth-century emblems (printed images with proverb-like texts) and contemporary works directly inspired by the tradition. Leader’s essay looks at the Renaissance form, which addressed love, politics, and religion in ways that capitalized on the newly invented printing press. Field’s essay reviews the ingenious contemporary updates by such artists as Peter Halley, Lesley Dill, Joseph Kosuth, and Lawrence Weiner. Bookseller Inventory # 34691
