Product Info Reviews

Description:

Possibly the smallest exhibition catalog ever published, Pop Surrealism was produced in conjunction with an exhibition of the same name at the Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art in Connecticut during the summer of 1998. This little four-by-four-inch powerhouse packs a punch, however, with 74 jewel-like color reproductions and three essays on the show's thesis that surrealism has reentered the art world via mass media. The organizers of the exhibition identify several main themes within this growing trend: the grotesque body, icons of popular culture, and the fractured narratives of comics, TV, film, and advertising. The show included painting, sculpture, drawing, photography, video, and installation by artists such as Mariko Mori, Lari Pittman, Paul Henry Ramirez, Peter Saul, Kenny Scharf, Jim Shaw, Nicola Tyson, Takashi Murakami, Bonnie Collura, and many, many more. The catalog is a 157-page gem. --A.C. Smith
