Glee

Résumé du livre

"Glee" is a uniquely designed volume dedicated to new developments in the world of contemporary painting--developments that engage advances in digital technology instead of fleeing from them. Including such already-renowned and up-and-coming painters as Peter Halley, Franz Ackerman, Ricci Albenda, Pedro Barbieto, Linda Besemer, Alex Blau, Greg Bogin, Alex Brown, Ingrid Calame, Sharon Ellis, Jeff Elrod, Carl Fudge, Wayne Gonzales, Jim Isermann, Sarah Morris, Stephen Mueller, Albert Oehlen, Monique Prieto, John F. Simon Jr. and Yek, "Glee" documents how these artists are innovating via the influence of styles as diverse as Op Art, Pattern & Decoration, early computer graphics and late 1960s psychedelia. The catalogue was designed by the rising young firm COMA, and features a gatefold that divides the book into two halves: the first dedicated to the artworks themselves, and the second devoted to essays and artist biographies.
