Presents Gary Schnedier's "Self-Portrait 1975-2015". Extreme closeups of the artist/photographer's hair from his various body parts. Schneider, it is fair to say, is a hairy dude. His Conceptual approach to the portrait by probing his (and other people's) body has a sensuous, even erotic dimension. "I strive to marry art and science, identity and obscurity, figuration and abstraction, the carnal and the spiritual" (Gary Schneider). Now complete in this Catalog, the first sequence of the "Hair" self-portraits was shown at Art Basel 2013. A signed copy of the Souvenir Announcement is included. An absolute "must-have" title for Gary Schneider collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed and dated in pencil by the artist/photographer: "2019 Gary Schneider". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. It also comes with a pristine copy of the Art Basel Souvenir Announcement, also very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in pencil by Gary Schneider. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. As far as we know, this is the only such signed copy (with signed Art Basel Souvenir Announcement) of the Exhibition Catalog available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare signed set thus. 23 color plates. One of the most brilliant artist/photographers of our time. A fine set. (SEE OTHER GARY SCHNEIDER TITLES IN OUR CATALOG).
