English language. Metal pin with pink and black print under clear laminate. 1.25 x 1.25 in. 3 x 3 cm. 0.5 oz. Age evident but no issues. Very Good Plus."This pin comes out of the NEA-funding controversies of the early 1990s when white segregationist senator Jesse Helms went on a witch hunt through contemporary art, tarring and feathering artists like Andres Serrano, Karen Finley, and Robert Mapplethorpe. The contested issues of that moment around censorship, state funding, and transgression in the arts have been thoroughly taught to every subsequent generation of US art students. This pin bears testament to that.

Edges starting to yellow. Very Good Plus. No ISBN. No ASIN."Wezyk's paintings are both beautiful and haunting meditations on the intersection of past and present in abandoned gothic cathedrals and churches. Though the spaces she depicts are wrought with religious implications, Wezyk instead exposes them as decaying signifiers of centuries of use and functionality. In many instances, the anachronistic presence of modern implements of construction, such as caution tape or cherry pickers, serves to underscore the disrepair that has befallen not only the buildings themselves, but also the culture and the religion that… Read More

ISBN: 9780847863655."Revealing Wood’s deep attunement to the interplay of content and form, line and shape, color and space, the exhibition—the first survey of prints by the artist—traced the evolution of his unique visual vocabulary through his printing practice.

The plates are organized into sections representing various printmaking studios with which Wood has… Read More

Valencia, ES: Fundacio la Caixa, 2004. Spanish language. Softcover. Still in shrink-wrap. New. ISBN: 9788476648612. "Jorge Pardo’s project for the Contemporary Art Collection is an invitation to reflect on traditional art exhibition practice. The artist has constructed a sumptuous environment- covering the walls with reliefs and lighting up the exhibition gallery with extraordinary coloured lamps – in order to exhibit a number of works from the collection. Art and decoration are juxtaposed in this installation by setting up an ambiguous interplay of hierarchies which calls into question the conventions related to the presentation, context and perception of art.
