Mark Grotjahn
Einer der teuersten Künstler der Gegenwart Mark Grotjahn (geb. 1968 in Pasadena, lebt und arbeitet in Los Angeles) gehört zu den bekanntesten amerikanischen Malern seiner Generation. Sein Werk ist heterogen und umfasst sowohl anthropomorphisierende Pflanzenfiguren und Maskendarstellungen als auch abstrakte Farbzeichnungen in Öl oder Wachskreide. Nach 1997 entstanden zudem zahlreiche monochrome Werke. In Grotjahns "Butterfly"- und "Face"-Gemälden wird ein dynamisch-dialektisches Verhältnis zwischen gestischer Bildlichkeit und formalistischer Struktur deutlich. Die großzügig angelegte Publikation "Circus Circus" zeigt eine Auswahl von Bildern aus Grotjahns neuer "Circus"-Serie sowie eine "Mask"-Bronze-Skulptur. Die ambitionierten, vielfarbigen Arbeiten verweben die geometrische Strenge der "Butterfly"- mit der gestischen Faktur der "Face"-Gemälde, bei denen primäre Gesichtssymbole aus fließenden Farbströmen hervortreten. Die Texte von Caroline Käding und Mark Prince analysieren die "Circus"-Serie vor dem Hintergrund der Maltraditionen, auf die sie verweist, und ordnen sie in Grotjahns bestehendes OEuvre ein.

Mark Grotjahn
Mark Grotjahn's (born 1968) ongoing Butterfly series--one of several investigations into the natural world in Grotjahn's oeuvre--focuses on perspectival techniques used since the Renaissance, such as dual and multiple vanishing points, to create the illusion of depth on a two-dimensional surface. Though at first the Butterfly paintings may appear entirely formal and graphic (alluding to modernist painting from Russian Constructivism to Op art), the raylike "butterfly wings" are often layered over under-paintings, giving them texture and tonal depth. This volume, published to accompany the first exhibition of Grotjahn's butterfly paintings at Blum & Poe in New York, not only collects these arresting compositions, but also delves into the artistic contexts involved, in an essay by Douglas Fogle that discusses the history of the Butterfly works since their conception in the early 2000s.

The first monograph on a rising star who is one of contemporary art's most celebrated painters Los Angeles-based artist Jonas Wood creates vivid images, where space and everyday life are rendered with compressed perspective in bold graphic hues. This monograph - the first on the artist's work - brings together his most significant paintings and drawings. In doing so, it offers a unique insight into the vast array of his sources, which include family photographs, found imagery, baseball cards, and other people's art, including the ceramics of his wife, the artist Shio Kusaka. With contributions by curator and writer Helen Molesworth, Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York Ian Alteveer, and a conversation between Wood and fellow Los Angeles-based artist Mark Grotjahn.
Mark Grotjahn: 50 Kitchens
A compact accordion book offering a prismatic tour through one of Mark Grotjahn's quintessential series In this publication, Mark Grotjahn's (born 1968) collectively titled 50 Kitchens drawings are presented in an accordion-folded, pocket-size catalog. 50 Kitchens documents a group of drawings, created over the span of five years, all in the same size and format to comprise a singular work of art. Shown at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in May 2018 under the same title, each of the drawings is done in Grotjahn's signature "butterfly" style, composed of a unique combination of alternating, radiating bands of color, executed in color pencil on paper. When fully unfurled, the accordion format of the publication allows for all 55 drawings to be seen simultaneously and in the order in which they were exhibited.
