The sixth and final volume documenting the work of an iconic
American artist The sixth and final volume of this exceptional
catalogue raisonne project features over 360 works made by John
Baldessari (1931-2020) between 2011 and 2019. Here, Baldessari
continues his longstanding tradition of borrowing from artists as
varied as David Hockney, Giotto, Gustave Courbet, Maria Lassnig,
Lucas Cranach the Elder, Giorgio Morandi, and Jackson Pollock. Many
of the works in this volume are a testament to the artist's
fascination and engagement with art from previous eras. In one
example, Baldessari's 2012 series "Double Bill" combines scenes
from pairs of paintings, such as a Willem de Kooning face atop a
Jean Dubuffet body, with the words, "...And Dubuffet" painted
beneath: Baldessari is effectively collaborating with artists he
has revered for years. This volume also surveys Baldessari's
complete film and video output, from 1968 to 2004, as well as the
artist's books he made, from 1972 to 2019. Additionally, an
appendix catalogues works, mostly pre-1974, that were unknown at
the time Volume 1 was published. Published in association with
Marian Goodman Gallery
With cover artwork specially created by Ruscha, this book documents
hundreds of projects and miscellaneous ephemera produced by the
artist alongside his main oeuvre-including installations, films,
painted book covers, contour gauge profiles, and more Introducing
readers to the stunning breadth of Edward Ruscha's (b. 1937)
creative output over the course of his entire life, this book
includes materials dating back to his childhood and extending to
his present-day output. The projects featured here fall outside
Ruscha's production of paintings, drawings, prints, and artists'
books. Many of these are unknown and most are reproduced here for
the first time. Composed of three sections-Projects and Ephemera;
Contour Gauge Profiles; and Painted Book Covers-the book offers
Ruscha enthusiasts and scholars a hitherto unknown aspect of
Ruscha's practice, while also showing how these projects coincide
with, and sometimes even prefigure, the artistic work for which he
is best known. The approximately 270 painted book covers, begun in
1990, utilize found books as support for small paintings and
drawings. The 57 contour gauge profiles are silhouette-like
profiles made using a mechanical device for reproducing contours.
The largest section, Projects and Ephemera, consists of
installations, sculpture and objects, films, book and poster
design, utilitarian works, and more. Distributed for Gagosian
