Ellen Gallagher: Accidental Records
Edwards, Adrienne, Philip Hoare
Hauser & Wirth, 2018
€39,95
Published on the occasion of an exhibition at Hauser & Wirth, Los Angeles, this artist’s book investigates specific aspects of the work of Ellen Gallagher. Cycles recur in her oeuvre, and she often uses charged figuration in paintings, drawings, collages, and films that reveals itself slowly, first as intricate abstractions, then later as unnerving stories. Whether through playful photomontages, re-appropriated found materials, or veneered black paintings, her speculative approach gathers a broad range of references, engaging in paradoxes while also generating tension between minimalist abstraction and image-based narratives.
