The definitive monograph on the iconoclastic painter George Condo.
With his arresting, unsettling style, George Condo emerged out of
the dynamism of the New York art scene in the early 1980s, and he
has been restlessly painting, drawing and sculpting - bringing
forms into the world in one way or another - ever since. With his
'fake' Old Masters, reconfigured Manets, impossibly intricate
paintings that seem abstract only from a distance, fractured and
multifaceted 'psychologically Cubist' portraits, and the orgiastic
misdemeanours of a host of butlers, bankers and priests, Condo has
invented, mastered and expanded not just one painterly language but
an entire lexicon. Working closely with Condo, Simon Baker has
combined biographical, chronological and thematic approaches to
survey the artist's work and career to date. An introductory essay
on Condo's contradictory nature and a chapter exploring his
phenomenal early career are followed by three thematic chapters
that look at the years from 1984 to the present, tracing Condo's
systematic reconstruction of the techniques of painting, exploring
his relationship to the concept of abstraction, and probing the
darker side of his psychological iconography in drawing, painting,
sculpture and writing. George Condo is the definitive monograph
about a unique artist that will appeal to artists, art students and
those with a general interest in art.
