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
Lee Mullican (1919-98) was best known for his inimitable West
Coast-inspired explorations in abstraction, infused with mysticism
and the transcendent. First exhibited as part of the pivotal
exhibition of the Dynaton Group, which Mullican co-founded with
fellow artists Gordon Onslow Ford and Wolfgang Paalen, his works
are today widely collected and held in the permanent collections of
the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Whitney Museum of American
Art, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and Metropolitan Museum of
Art, among many others. The first book in more than a decade to
focus on this important figure in twentieth-century American art,
Cosmic Theatre: The Art of Lee Mullican surveys a key theme running
through the artist's career, framing his unusual hybridisation of
symbolic figuration, abstracted landscapes, and abstract space with
his long-time fascination with the sky and the galaxy beyond. The
book explores the development of the Mullican's work in the context
of his time and his biography, looking also at the implications of
Jungian philosophy in relation to his admiration of pre-Columbian
and Native American cultures. Michael Auping's essay is
complemented by fifty full-colour illustrations, featuring major
rare paintings and drawings by Mullican from the 1940s to the
1970s.
