About This Item
New York: Harry N. Abrams, Inc., Publishers, 1996. Cloth, 255 pages, illustrations (some colour); 32 cm. Near fine. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Light shelfwear to boards. A solid copy, lacking the DJ. OVERSIZE! No priority/international, except by arrangement. Profusely illustrated. "This is the first comprehensive monograph on an important contemporary artist, one who has come to represent the Russian avant-garde in the post-Stalinist era much in the way that Joseph Beuys was a stimulus for European art after World War II. In her fascinating text, Amei Wallach draws on extensive research and interviews with Kabakov and his circle over the past eight years, and puts the work in the context of the artist's life and the social, historical, cultural, and political forces that have shaped it - from his boyhood during Stalin's regime, to his obligatory career as a children's book illustrator in the official Artists' Union, to his involvement in Moscow's furtive and fertile underground avant-garde of artists and writers, to his more recent travels in the international art circuit. This groundbreaking volume also includes an introduction by Robert Storr, a curator in the Department of Painting and Sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and commentaries by the artist himself that accompany the 290 illustrations, including paintings, drawings, albums, and sketches and photographs of installations." - Publisher.. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/No DJ. Folio.
