Forms of Persuasion
"Forms of Persuasion is the first book-length history of corporate art patronage in the 1960s. After the decline of artist-illustrated advertising but before the rise of museum sponsorship, this decade saw artists and businesses exploring new ways to use art for commercial gain. Where many art historical accounts of the sixties privilege radical artistic practices that seem to oppose the dominant values of capitalism, Alex J. Taylor instead reveals an art world deeply immersed in the imperatives of big business. These projects unfolded in Madison Avenue meeting rooms and MoMA galleries, but as the most creative and competitive corporations sought growth through global expansion, they also re...
Sue Fuller: Into the Composition
The first monograph on the overlooked American modernist whose delicate geometric abstractions made brilliant and innovative use of string Balance, motion, suspension and tension form the guiding principles of the work of Sue Fuller (1914-2006), one of the most innovative artists in the field of geometric abstraction in the postwar United States. Initially a prominent figure in Stanley William Hayter's famous New York print workshop Atelier 17, Fuller developed an interest in geometric abstraction in the mid-1940s, which led her to adopt string as a tool to create three-dimensional compositions in a range of colors and varying densities across a light framing structure. Fuller is also known for her use of unconventional materials sourced from industrial sectors, including fishing lines and synthetic surfaces such as Lucite, which conserve the compositions' delicate tension and vivid color schemes in pristine condition to this day. Sue Fuller: Into the Composition is the first monographic study of Fuller's work and includes contributions by art historians Alex J. Taylor and Christina Weyl.
James Rosenquist
The 1960s was a defining decade for James Rosenquist (1933-2017), one of the most revered and influential American artists of his generation. His paintings radically tested the possibilities of perception, of the image and of the painted medium itself, propelling him to the centre of art-world attention. At the forefront of his time and the nascent Pop art movement, he combined figurative painting techniques, collage and the use of found objects to convey the contradictions inherent to the American experience -- juxtaposing John F. Kennedy and the American Dream with images relating to the Vietnam War, mass consumerism, segregation and technological innovation. The first UK exhibition in over thirty years with an in-depth focus on this pivotal decade, 'James Rosenquist: Visualising the Sixties' will not only illuminate why the early years of the artist's career were so groundbreaking, but will also demonstrate the innovative and experimental techniques Rosenquist employed throughout the decade, pushing the boundaries of his medium in an era that redefined the field of painting. Exhibition: Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac - Ely House, London, UK (11.09-22.11.2019).
