This comprehensive survey of the work of the young and influential American sculptor Tom Sachs is the first of its kind, and long overdue. Sachs appropriates elements from American popular culture, including fast food, skateboarding and hip-hop music, and mixes them with overt references to luxury fashion labels, as well as icons of Modernist art and design. Even as Sachs's work maintains an overt antagonism toward consumerism and globalization, it reveals an inherent idealism, championing transparency of production and homespun craftsmanship. Produced on the occasion of the artist's solo exhibition at the Fondazione Prada, Milan, this book illustrates the prolific and innovative nature of Sachs's career, highlighting his fascination with weapons, conformity, cultural imperialism and craft.

Seller's Description:
As new. Quarto. Hardcover. Navy cloth with gilt stamped titles and design in illustrated jacket. 104 pages: illustrations; 28 cm. "In this exhibition, Sachs continues his formal investigation and exploration of the modernist canon. Guided by the iconoclastic spirit and wit of Marcel Duchamp's iconic "readymades, " Sachs employs his signature bricolage technique to reimagine sculptures by Pablo Picasso and Constantin Brāncu i. Drawing on an interplay between technical production and quotidian materials, these sculptures question traditional conceptions of what constitutes a work of art. Previous bodies of work have also engaged the annals of modernism, including Sachs's take on Piet Mondrian's abstractions in the 1990s, recreated out of duct tape and plywood; foamcore interpretations of Le Corbusier's housing complexes in the aughts; and, more recently, the reimagining of Picasso's paintings, particularly from the so-called "war years" period between 1937 and 1945."--taken from gallery website.
