Hardcover. Color-illus. boards with black lettering. Matching paper half-dj with no lettering. 184 pp. with 154 mostly color illustrations. Marcel Dzama (*1974 in Winnipeg) is known for his prolific drawings, which are characterized by their distinctive palette and subject matter. He has recently expanded his practice to encompa…ss film and three-dimensional works, thus developing an immediately recognizable language that draws from a diverse range of references and artistic influences, including Dada and Marcel Duchamp. Created in close collaboration with the artist, this publication presents his 2013 exhibition at David Zwirner in London, which included videos inspired by the game of chess and puppets and masks based on the characters, along with drawings, collages, dioramas, paintings, and sculptural works. Dzama utilized the architecture of the gallery itselfan eighteenth-century Georgian townhouseby hanging puppets from a skylight above the five-story building's central spiral staircase and placing monitors in the windows so that his videos could be viewed from the street. - from the Hatje Cantz web site. With texts by Deborah Solomon. Catalogue from the exhibit of Dzama's work shown at Zwirner's London location, April - May 2013. New (taken out of shrink wrap to find out what it was!).

VG.near fine. hardcovers. no dj. without cuts or rubbings to any edges. collectable condition. no inscriptions or marginalia. delightful clean copy. from the personal collection of a dealer/collector. This catalogue presents numerous large paintings on canvas from the 1960s to the early 1980s, as well as small-scale paintings on… paper, to which James Bishop turned exclusively in 1986 and which he continues to produce today. Throughout his career, James Bishop has engaged with European and American traditions of postwar abstraction while developing a subtle, poetic, and highly unique visual language of his own. Alternating between-and at times interweaving-painting and drawing, Bishop's works explore the ambiguities and paradoxes of material opacity and transparency, flatness and spatiality, as well as linear tectonics and loosely composed forms. Privileging the nuanced and expressive qualities of color and scale, Bishop's luminous works have been described by American poet and art critic John Ashbery as "half architecture, half air." Published to coincide with James Bishop's first solo presentation in New York since 1987, which was held at David Zwirner in New York in 2014, this volume includes works spanning the artist's prolific career. In addition, the book includes details and installation views, providing further context for understanding the artist's work. In the early 1960s, Bishop developed the vocabulary of color and form that would characterize his paintings on canvas for over twenty years: a reduced but rich palette, the employment of subtle architectonic abstractions, and a consistently large, square format that reinforces the viewer's sense of scale and space. By overlapping thin but radiant veils of monochrome color, Bishop creates discrete geometric frameworks that suggest doors, windows, cubes, or what the artist describes as an uncertain scaffolding.
