Hardcover. A glimpse inside the mind of Jason Rhoades, through a facsimile edition of the visionary artist's sketchbookIllastrations is a facsimile of an undated sketchbook of drawings by Jason Rhoades that he and his wife, the artist Rachel Khedoori, gifted to their friend and patron Iwan Wirth. A leading figure of the 1990s international art world, Rhoades was a world builder, an outlier. Like his art, the book is a dynamic construction designed to systematically explore and communicate life's big questions. It serves as a guide to Rhoades's visionary work: a collection of didactic cartoons, organized by keyword, that illustrate key concepts, materials, works of art, and personal references, including "abstraction," "curator," "donut," "Marcel Duchamp," "unfair." Presented in a slipcase and bound as what feels like an art supply sketchbook, Illastrations is an object to treasure, encapsulating the playfulness of a Californian cowboy who never relinquished his sense of punk practicality. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.

About this title

Synopsis

Inside the art and mind of Jason Rhoades, through a facsimile edition of the visionary artist's sketchbook

The American installation artist Jason Rhoades (1965–2006) was a leading figure of the 1990s international art world: a world builder, an outsider, a California cowboy who never relinquished his sense of rural practicality or punk sense of humor. His art―which took America as its imaginative subject―is a dynamic construction, designed to systematically explore and communicate life’s big questions. Illastrations is a facsimile of an undated sketchbook of Rhoades’ drawings, serving as a guide to Rhoades’ visionary work: a collection of didactic cartoons, organized by keyword, that illustrate key concepts, materials, works of art and personal references (abstraction, curator, donut, Marcel Duchamp, etc.). Originally given as a gift by Rhoades and his wife, the artist Rachel Khedoori, to their friend and patron Iwan Wirth, Illastrations encapsulates the spirit of generosity with which Rhoades shared his greatest gift, his art.
