Hardcover. Condition: New. "This publication marks two important Luc Tuymans exhibitions staged in two UK capital cities, London and Edinburgh. Although in different venues, The Shore at David Zwirner in London and Birds of a Feather at Talbot Rice Gallery in Edinburgh, the exhibitions are united by a theme of Enlightenment; a theme that is explored by the artist through politically complex but elusive means"--Foreword. The British writer Will Self wrote a short story for The Shore, and the art critic Colin Siyuan Chinnery has contributed an explanatory essay for Birds of a Feather. Includes "In painting, you can't go back", a conversation between Will Self and Luc Tuymans held March 6, 2015 at the David Zwirner Gallery in London.

Luc Tuymans: Intolerance, published to accompany a major retrospective at the Qatar Museums in Doha (the artist's first show in the Gulf region), surveys Tuymans' work from the past 25 years.

Also included are texts by Jan Avgikos, Nicholas Cullinan, Jenevive Nykolak, Nicholas Serota and exhibition curator Lynne Cooke, offering new insights into Tuymans' oeuvre from the past three decades.
