Item description from seller

A teal matte hardcover book with printed boards. The title is printed in light blue both across the front cover and down the spine. The headband is white and navy. The front and back free and pasted end pages are a black-and-white photograph. Pages: (5), 6-143, (1). Profusely illustrated with many full-color images and black and white photographs. There are also several foldout pages. The 1960s was a defining decade for James Rosenquist (1933-2017), one of the most revered and influential American artists of his generation. His paintings radically tested the possibilities of perception, of the image and of the painted medium itself, propelling him to the centre of art-world attention. At the forefront of his time and the nascent Pop art movement, he combined figurative painting techniques, collage and the use of found objects to convey the contradictions inherent to the American experience -- juxtaposing John F. Kennedy and the American Dream with images relating to the Vietnam War, mass consumerism, segregation and technological innovation. The first UK exhibition in over thirty years with an in-depth focus on this pivotal decade, 'James Rosenquist: Visualising the Sixties' will not only illuminate why the early years of the artist's career were so groundbreaking, but will also demonstrate the innovative and experimental techniques Rosenquist employed throughout the decade, pushing the boundaries of his medium in an era that redefined the field of painting. Exhibition: Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac - Ely House, London, UK (11.09-22.11.2019). VG+: A book in excellent condition. Clean pages and strong binding. Looks like it was rarely, if ever, taken from the shelf. …
