This volume takes a close look at a recent development in the career of painter Albert Oehlen (born 1954), scrutinizing eleven works from late 2004 to 2005, in which collaged elements first entered the artist's celebrated abstractions. Oehlen has long maneuvered between figuration and abstraction, and here, amid a muddy palette enlivened by streaks of fresh blues and pinks, collaged fragments of landscapes or human faces peer out, sometimes jarring and sometimes blending with the composition.

This volume takes a close look at a recent development in the career of painter Albert Oehlen (born 1954), scrutinizing eleven works from late 2004 to 2005, in which collaged elements first entered the artist's celebrated abstractions. Oehlen has long maneuvered between figuration and abstraction, and here, amid a muddy palette enlivened by streaks of fresh blues and pinks, collaged fragments of landscapes or human faces peer out, sometimes jarring and sometimes blending with the composition. As Anne Pont???gnie points out in her essay, these works "combine experiments of the past with a momentum toward future experiment. Here is an energy in which pleasure, humor and elegance rub shoulders with anger, ugliness and brutality." These works are given luxury treatment in this volume, which offers nine of the eleven paintings in superbly printed full-color gatefolds.

Seller's Description:
New. Size: 0x0x0; [ART]. Georges Perec, Albert Oehlen, Ann Goldstein. "Albert Oehlen (2016)." London: Gagosian Gallery, 2016. English language. Hardcover accordion in slipcase. Text and full-color images. 11 x 13.75 in. 28 x 35 cm. 32 pp. Text clean. New. ISBN: 9781938748288."The featured works include a group of Oehlen’s aluminum panel tree paintings, in which the artist employs a schematic version of an arboreal motif as a tool for undermining the role of identifiable images. Rendering forms in vivid, contrasting hues of red, black, white, and blue, he produces a series of silhouettes that suggest the use of design software, despite having been painted by hand in oil. Revisiting and revising a fundamental biological form, Oehlen calls into question the aims and procedures of painting and the symbolic resonance of nature itself. The oversized accordion-fold publication reproduces the sixteen paintings in the exhibition on one side and, on the reverse, Ann Goldstein’s illustrated essay “Let Your Branches Grow†and an excerpt from Georges Perec’s 1967 novel A Man Asleep."
