John Baldessari, Pure Beauty (Book) by Leslie Jones, Jessica Morgan. Like New – 2009. Publisher Tate Gallery. Delivery time: 14 Days – In English.
A major figure in contemporary art, John Baldessari is widely regarded as one of the most influential artists emerging since the mid-1960s. From his first text and image paintings to his most recent collages and photographic installations, Baldessari continued to create works of art that deal with the social impact of mass culture, often in a playful way through strategies of appropriation and deconstruction.
Baldessari’s interest in language, the written and the visual, and the interaction between the two, raises questions about the nature of communication and perception. More than 400 illustrations are presented in color in this monograph published in conjunction with a major exhibition organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Tate Modern in London. Eleven essays by critics, curators, art historians and an artist and former student of Baldessari complete this volume. Few contemporary artists have reached the extent and relevance of Baldessari’s work, which finally finds its place in this elegant retrospective book.
