Lauded by photographers, artists, and critics for his influence on
the contemporary generation of art photographers, James Welling has
created beautiful and uncompromising photographs for over
thirty-five years. Operating in the hybrid ground between painting,
sculpture, and traditional photography, Welling is first and
foremost a photographic practitioner enthralled with the
possibilities of the medium. James Welling: Monograph will provide
the most thorough presentation of the artist's work to date, as
well as offer an indispensible resource for those interested in
this artist's remarkable, foundational practice. Since the
mid-1970s, Welling's work has fluidly explored a mercurial set of
issues and ideas: the tenets of realism and transparency,
abstraction and representation, optics and description, personal
and cultural memory, and the material and chemical nature of
photography. To date, the artist has been the subject of numerous
catalogs addressing his more than twenty-five different bodies of
work-Welling's "substantive investigation of the spectrum of
abstract to figurative," as one curator has described it. Yet no
book has appeared with the ambition of linking these bodies of work
together by examining the primary threads that run through them
all. That is, until now. Sumptuously produced, James Welling:
Monograph, presents a large selection of recent series, from 2000
through to the present, comingled with important early and iconic
works made in the preceding decades. Chief curator of the
Cincinnati Art Museum, James Crump, working closely with the
artist, contributes an extensive introductory essay, and the volume
will also include text contributions by Mark Godfrey, Thomas
Seelig, and an interview with Eva Respini, associate curator in the
Department of Photography at MoMA.
