About this title

From Library Journal:

Laib's often unusual choice of media milk, bee pollen, beeswax make for works of art best appreciated in person rather than reproduced on paper (even when seen in the large, full-color, full-page illustrations shown here). Still, independent curator Ottmann gives a good overview of the artist's career and the thinking behind the sometimes enigmatic works. The catalog accompanies a retrospective traveling from Washington, DC, to Seattle, Dallas, Scottsdale, AZ, and San Diego. Also included in the catalog are two essays, an extensive interview with the artist, and a full bibliography. Recommended for larger collections of contemporary art. Martin R.
