Ken Price: Drawings
Author: Ken Price
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781944929220
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 100
Book Description
Though Los Angeles artist Ken Price (1935-2012) is best known as a sculptor in ceramic, drawing was always a central component of his art: "For me drawing is really flexible," he once stated, "and I use it in different ways. It's my way of developing ideas." Ken Price: Drawings brings out this facet of Price's work fully for the first time. Featuring 78 of Price's works on paper--all reproduced for the first time, many at actual size--this book is the most comprehensive ever published on the subject. Technical innovations like five-color printing capture Price's drawings in all their wayward vitality. From preparatory works, like Price's early 1960s drawings exploring forms and colors for his abstract sculptures, to his 2000s landscapes featuring wild scenes of erupting volcanoes, cyclonic skies and turbulent seas, Ken Price: Drawings offers a long-overdue survey of Price's work on paper.

Book Description
Résumé en 4ème de couverture: "This monograph devoted to the American artist Ken Price (1935-2012) is the first publication to fully integrate the artist's acclaimed sculptures with his works on paper. Emerging from a cadre of innovative artists in postwar Los Angeles, Price transformed the art of ceramics, finding inspiration in a diverse array of sources: the Bauhaus, traditional Southwestern pottery, Japanese ceramics, and 1960s American counterculture. Through his masterful manipulation of clay, innovative glazing, and magnificent handling of color, Price created, over the course of his career, a set of highly original forms. His works on paper echo his sculptures in their brilliant colors and fantastical subjects and convey his perceptions of the locales where he enjoyed much of his life, namely, Los Angeles and New Mexico. Featuring nearly two hundred full-color images, this generously illustrated volume contains an introduction by the curator Paul Schimmel and a scholarly essay by Sam Thorne. The juxtapositions of two- and three-dimensional works throughout offer readers in-deph access to the artist's creative process. Price emerges as a multifaceted, cheerful iconoclast who approached both his work and his life with erudition and exuberance."

Category : Bronze sculpture
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
For over five decades, Ken Price (1935-2012) produced small-scale ceramic sculptures with brightly colored finishes that achieved a balance between form and surface. Then, in the last years of his life, he initiated a dramatic shift in scale and finish. Ken Price: The Large Sculptures unveils this final body of work in its entirety. With dimensions that echo those of the human body, these sculptures speak directly to the viewer's corporeality. Cast in bronze composite and painted with color-shifting automotive paint, the large sculptures are in one sense the culmination of Price's long career and in another the beginning of a new path cut tragically short. This large-format book includes a detailed essay by Alex Kitnick that situates these works in the history of modern sculpture. The plates section features multiple views of the works' seemingly ever-shifting forms. Completing the book are numerous unpublished photographs of the fabrication process at Price's studio.

Category : Drawing, American
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This publication accompanies the first survey of drawings by Los Angeles artist Ken Price (1935-2013), best known for his abstract, brightly colored ceramic sculptures. Price's work was only widely exhibited later in his life, but scholars have long admired his highly original forms. As early as 1966, Lucy Lippard commented: "No one else on the East or West Coast is working like Kenneth Price." Like his better-known sculptures, these drawings feature an idiosyncratic array of amorphous shapes. The book includes an in-depth 44-page illustrated essay by exhibition curator Douglas Dreishpoon, a 20-page section detailing a rarely seen large-scale scroll drawing from 1962, and color plates of all of the nearly 70 works in the exhibition, tracking the evolution of Price's drawings over 48 years and demonstrating a wide range of characters and techniques.

Book Description
Ron Nagle: Getting to No' features twenty-five new sculptures, most of them no larger than six inches in any dimension. According to Nagle, sculpture at this scale ?can allude to a much bigger place, because it?s so small your imagination has to fill in all that space that?s not there.? Although he works in traditional mediums like ceramic and porcelain, he combines them with other materials, including epoxy resin and catalyzed polyurethane, to create forms that cannot be achieved in clay alone. 0Inspiration for Nagle?s work often comes from unusual sources, but his work is also grounded in tradition. He frequently cites the influence of shibui, an aesthetic of contrast and balance that is highly prized in Japan. When Nagle makes a sculpture, the proportion of each color is essential; the most vibrant hue might be confined to a thin stripe along its base. ?That?s the zinger,? he says. ?In music they?d call it a hook. Your eye will go there in reference to the other colors.? 0Each sculpture is reproduced in full color, at or near actual size. In the interview, Nagle speaks with fellow San Francisco sculptor Vincent Fecteau about scale, color, and music, as well as Nagle?s early friendships with other West Coast artists -- Peter Voulkos, Ken Price, and Jim Melchert -- making innovative work in clay.00Exhibition: Matthew Marks Gallery, New York, USA (02.05.-15.06.2019).
