Description

The first comprehensive monograph on the art of Joe Zucker, this career-spanning survey deals with all the artist's various bodies of work, from his grid paintings of the 1960s to his latest work, including the monumental 1000 Brushstrokes (2015-2016). Zucker's art is rooted in a conceptual framework where tools, materials, processes, procedures, content, and subject matter are all interrelated. Working with materials ranging from cotton balls, sash cord, peg boards and squeegees to acrylic and rhoplex, and exploring such themes as the grid, the history of cotton, ancient civilizations, an assortment of "dubious characters," paintings that paint themselves, as well as meditations on the studio, Zucker merges materials, process, and content--abstract and otherwise--to produce compelling works of extraordinary inventiveness, irony, and passion.
