About This Item
New York: Whitney Museum of American Art ; Los Angeles County Museum of Ar, 2005. Hardcover. Fine copy lacking jacket.. Small square folio in beige blind-stamped paper-backed boards; 223 pages : chiefly color illustrations ; 28 cm Includes bibliographical references (pages 208-209) and index. Fine copy lacking jacket. Unlike much contemporary art, this stuff is really interesting. Catalog of an exhibition to be held early Feb.-May 29, 2005 at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, and June 26-Sept. 25, 2005, at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. || "This book is the first comprehensive survey of the work of Los Angeles-based artist Tim Hawkinson (b. 1960), whose ingenious constructions of found objects and everyday items have brought him widespread recognition as one of the most original sculptors working in America today. Known primarily for his large-scale kinetic and sound-producing works, such as the monumental Uberorgan, Hawkinson has also created a bird skeleton from his own fingernail parings, a latex cast of his body inflated with air, and clocks fashioned from a Coke can. a manila envelope, and a toothpaste tube. His fantastical assemblages, which may include sculpture, painting, photography, drawing, or printmaking, suggest the profound strangeness of life, matter, and time. With 250 color illustrations and three insightful essays, along with the artist's commentary on more than 150 of his hugely varied works, Tim Hawkinson will prove a revelation to all those interested in contemporary art. || My favorite things / Lawrence Rinder -- Speaking in tongues: the art of Tim Hawkinson / Howard Fox -- Encyclopedia Hawkinsoniae / Doug Harvey. || Hawkinson, Tim, 1960- -- Exhibitions.
