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.
