Book Description
The first major monograph on the rich and varied art of Matt Mullican. For more than three decades, Matt Mullican has created a complex body of work concerned with systems of knowledge, meaning, language, and signification. Mullican has always been concerned with the relationship between perception and reality, between the ability to see something and the ability to represent it. Mullican's oeuvre, which takes form as drawing, collage, video, sculpture, performance, and installation, confronts the nature of subjective understanding, rationality, and cognition - in essence proposing a "picture" of the world. This first major monograph on Mullican - being published following tremendous renewed interest in the artist's important work by a group of younger artists and curators - considers his work in-depth. Lynne Cooke, chief curator at the Reina Sofia in Madrid, and Hal Foster, art historian, address various aspects of Mullican's multidisciplinary practice. A roundtable discussion between Conceptual artist John Baldessari and critic and curator Hans Ulrich-Obrist completes this comprehensive survey with a discussion on the nature of creativity.

Book Description
"The group of artists known as the "Pictures Generation" are usually thought to have rebelled against abstract and minimalist art by bringing back figural techniques and borrowing liberally from the aesthetics of mass media and advertising. Challenging conventional interpretations of this group, Alexander Bigman argues that these artists-especially Robert Longo, Jack Goldstein, Sarah Charlesworth, Gretchen Bender, and Troy Brauntuch-deployed totalitarian and fascist iconography to pose new, politically loaded questions about what it means to perceive the world historically in a society saturated by images. Throughout, he also situates their work in the context of other developments taking place in New York City at the time, including music, fashion, cinema, and literature. This is a book about art, popular culture, and memory, and especially about how the specter of fascism loomed for these artists in the 1970s and 1980s, and the ways it still looms for us today"--
