Download or read book Ken Price: Drawings written by Ken Price and published by . This book was released on 2019-09-17 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though Los Angeles artist Ken Price (1935-2012) is best known as a sculptor in ceramic, drawing was always a central component of his art: "For me drawing is really flexible," he once stated, "and I use it in different ways. It's my way of developing ideas." Ken Price: Drawings brings out this facet of Price's work fully for the first time. Featuring 78 of Price's works on paper--all reproduced for the first time, many at actual size--this book is the most comprehensive ever published on the subject. Technical innovations like five-color printing capture Price's drawings in all their wayward vitality. From preparatory works, like Price's early 1960s drawings exploring forms and colors for his abstract sculptures, to his 2000s landscapes featuring wild scenes of erupting volcanoes, cyclonic skies and turbulent seas, Ken Price: Drawings offers a long-overdue survey of Price's work on paper.

Book excerpt: Résumé en 4ème de couverture: "This monograph devoted to the American artist Ken Price (1935-2012) is the first publication to fully integrate the artist's acclaimed sculptures with his works on paper. Emerging from a cadre of innovative artists in postwar Los Angeles, Price transformed the art of ceramics, finding inspiration in a diverse array of sources: the Bauhaus, traditional Southwestern pottery, Japanese ceramics, and 1960s American counterculture. Through his masterful manipulation of clay, innovative glazing, and magnificent handling of color, Price created, over the course of his career, a set of highly original forms. His works on paper echo his sculptures in their brilliant colors and fantastical subjects and convey his perceptions of the locales where he enjoyed much of his life, namely, Los Angeles and New Mexico. Featuring nearly two hundred full-color images, this generously illustrated volume contains an introduction by the curator Paul Schimmel and a scholarly essay by Sam Thorne. The juxtapositions of two- and three-dimensional works throughout offer readers in-deph access to the artist's creative process. Price emerges as a multifaceted, cheerful iconoclast who approached both his work and his life with erudition and exuberance."

Book excerpt: This publication accompanies the first survey of drawings by Los Angeles artist Ken Price (1935-2013), best known for his abstract, brightly colored ceramic sculptures. Price's work was only widely exhibited later in his life, but scholars have long admired his highly original forms. As early as 1966, Lucy Lippard commented: "No one else on the East or West Coast is working like Kenneth Price." Like his better-known sculptures, these drawings feature an idiosyncratic array of amorphous shapes. The book includes an in-depth 44-page illustrated essay by exhibition curator Douglas Dreishpoon, a 20-page section detailing a rarely seen large-scale scroll drawing from 1962, and color plates of all of the nearly 70 works in the exhibition, tracking the evolution of Price's drawings over 48 years and demonstrating a wide range of characters and techniques.

Download or read book Vija Celmins written by Ian Alteveer and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2018-12-11 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The beautiful catalogue that accompanies the critically-acclaimed exhibition currently on view at the Metropolitan Museum Best known for her striking drawings of ocean surfaces, begun in 1968 and revisited over many years both in drawings and paintings, Vija Celmins (b. 1938) has been creating exquisitely detailed renderings of natural imagery for more than five decades. The oceans were followed by desert floors and night skies--all subjects in which vast, expansive distances are distilled into luminous, meticulous, and mesmerizing small-scale artworks. For Celmins, this obsessive "redescribing" of the world is a way to understand human consciousness in relation to lived experience. The first major publication on the artist in twenty years, this comprehensive and lavishly illustrated volume explores the full range of Celmins's work produced since the 1960s--drawings and paintings as well as sculpture and prints. Scholarly essays, a narrative chronology, and a selection of excerpts from interviews with the artist illuminate her methods and techniques; survey her early years in Los Angeles, where she was part of a circle that included James Turrell and Ken Price; and trace the development of her work after she moved to New York City and befriended figures such as Robert Gober and Richard Serra.

Book excerpt: This first major book on John Altoon, a legendary figure of the Los Angeles art scene in the 1960s, examines the artist's work not only in the context of his peers but also considers his resonance for later generations of artists. Dynamic and often erotically charged, the drawings and paintings are intimately connected--Altoon's exuberant canvases both respond to and inform the primal energy of his works on paper.

Smith.

Download or read book Ken Price written by Alex Kitnick and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over five decades, Ken Price (1935-2012) produced small-scale ceramic sculptures with brightly colored finishes that achieved a balance between form and surface. Then, in the last years of his life, he initiated a dramatic shift in scale and finish. Ken Price: The Large Sculptures unveils this final body of work in its entirety. With dimensions that echo those of the human body, these sculptures speak directly to the viewer's corporeality. Cast in bronze composite and painted with color-shifting automotive paint, the large sculptures are in one sense the culmination of Price's long career and in another the beginning of a new path cut tragically short. This large-format book includes a detailed essay by Alex Kitnick that situates these works in the history of modern sculpture. The plates section features multiple views of the works' seemingly ever-shifting forms. Completing the book are numerous unpublished photographs of the fabrication process at Price's studio.
Book Synopsis Manhattan Penis Drawings for Ken Hicks by : Keith Haring
Download or read book Manhattan Penis Drawings for Ken Hicks written by Keith Haring and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Haring’s Manhattan Penis Drawings deliberately eschew eroticism in their repetitive, decorative patterning of male genitalia. The works, made in the late ’70s, interestingly foreshadow the political turn Haring’s work would take in response to the AIDS crisis. The sketches shed light on the concerns that preoccupied Haring during his formative years in the city that would so define his artistic practice—namely, the forging of a direct and immediate visual language and the translation of the personal and political into universal experience. One of the key figures in the New York art world of the 1980s, Keith Haring (1958–1990) created a signature style that blended street art, graffiti, a Pop sensibility, and cartoon elements to unique and memorable effect. With thick black outlines, bright colors, and kinetic figures, his public (and occasionally illegal) interventions, works on canvas, paper and sculptures have become instantly recognizable icons of 20th century visual culture.

Download or read book Ken Price written by Kenneth Price and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Ken Price was born in West Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, in 1935. He enrolled in his first ceramics course at Santa Monica City College in 1953, a year after he took classes in life drawing and cartooning at the Chouinard Art Institute (now the California Institute of the Arts). His notion of ceramic sculpture evolved significantly during his studies with Peter Voulkos (American, 1924-2002), from 1955 to 1957, at the Los Angeles County Art Institute (later the Otis Art Institute). In 1959, he earned an MFA from the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University. He had his first solo exhibition in 1960 at the now legendary Ferus Gallery. Since then, Price's work has been extensively published and exhibited nationally and internationally. In 1992, Walter Hopps, founding director of The Menil Collection, Houston, Texas, organized a prescient survey of Price's sculptures that our book commemorates. In 2004, the Chinati Foundation, Marfa, Texas, mounted an exhibition of sculptures and works on paper dated from 1994 to 2004." -- Publisher's website
