Face chronicles the development of artist Valentin Popov's
traveling exhibition of the same name--a suite of 100
uniformly-sized portraits surveying a social subset of selected
friends, acquaintances, and celebrities. Popov explores the
mystique of the face not only as the primary organ of human
individuation and the immediate modulus of interpersonal
recognition, but with respect to such intriguing intangibles as the
eternal dialectic between objectivity and subjectivity and the
face's ambiguity as both mirror and mask. Popov has explored a wide
variety of subject matter and media in his art, and all of his
works feature the skilled technique and formal ability for which he
has become known. His pieces speak to the lineage of art history,
yet sometimes vacillate between homage and parody, often laced with
a sense of humor, irony, or Pop. In his latest series, Popov
revisits an idea once put forth by Andy Warhol who documented the
faces of his friends and acquaintances through photographs and silk
screen paintings, many of which were produced at a uniform scale of
40 x 40 inches. Warhol once spoke of mounting an exhibition of
these portraits in which the walls would be filled from top to
bottom with faces. Face re-examines the portraiture tradition and
frames it in postmodern perspective. Featuring lush, full-color
plates and insightful text by Peter Selz and other noted critics,
curators, and commentators, this exquisite volume is sure to
delight the eye and take pride of place among contemporaneous
chronicles of cutting-edge portraiture.
