The definitive volume on Gaetano Pesce's incomparable life and
career, as told in the iconoclastic artist-designer's own words. In
a category all his own, Gaetano Pesce is widely considered one of
the most important, and elusive, creative figures of the last half
century. Bridging numerous key art and design movements, while
never truly belonging to any of them, Pesce's singular practice has
remained steadfastly provocative, defying widely held notions of
convention, utility, and good taste. Yet as New York magazine
demonstrated in its feature on the 'Pope of Gloop' upon the opening
of his recent solo show at acclaimed gallery Salon 94, the world
has arguably caught up to Gaetano Pesce. Now in his eighth decade,
Pesce recounts his life and career to renowned design curator and
critic Glenn Adamson, generating discussion conducted over several
years that is as informative as it is surprising. Discussing his
incomparable decades-long career which includes the creation of the
classic articles of his UP series, the effusively postmodern design
for Chiat/Day's headquarters, and countless works of furniture and
design objects in his signature poured resin - Pesce shares his
wide-ranging thoughts on art, design, and architecture. Always
forward-looking, Pesce's process of reinterpreting and transforming
the premises of modern design to create idiosyncratic and deeply
personal works beat a path for multidisciplinary design practice
seen everywhere today. Particularly in his exploration of
introducing imperfections, if not 'defects' into the traditionally
uniform systems of mass fabrication, Pesce turns out to be much
more of a prophet of modern design than a curious detractor.
Gaetano Pesce: The Complete Incoherence is the long overdue summary
of an irreverent, wildly inventive career that should inspire
practitioners across all creative disciplines.
