An evocative, alienated world of maps, memory and imagination pervades the art of Argentine artist Guillermo Kuitca, whose work is in the collections of such prestigious institutions as the TATE Modern, the Metropolitan Museum and the Hirschhorn. Kuitca s psychologically and politically charged paintings use architecture, floor plans, baggage carousels and topography to create the paradox of a figure less world in which human beings are constantly present. Some newer paintings adopt as a starting point a heavy, grey brown form, in contrast, the map paintings seem to emerge from pure colors as aimless, wandering, wispy traces of light or air. This comprehensively illustrated exhibition catalog presents an important new body of work from one of the most original and relevant contemporary artists.

Hardcover. Condition: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 21 x 28 cm, 176 pages with 80 coloured illustrations, cloth-bound, embossed on title and spine, silk-screen print on cover - Guillermo Kuitca (b. 1961) from Buenos Aires came to prominence through his architectural blueprints and map paintings; for example, when he painted systems of maps onto 20 mattresses at documenta 9 in 1992. His iron curtain design for Foster s new Dallas Opera House in particular elicited much excitement in the USA in 2009. In this case, the serried rows of seats dissolve into a dark mass of metaphysical nothing-ness out of which they seem to be erupting. The curtain highlights this theatrical game most felicitously: the world of the audience in front of it, behind it, that of the theatre, of the imagination and this very interplay hold a great fascination for Guillermo Kutica.
