Using a fixed canvas size and a vertical format, Abts deploys basic formal elements such as arcs, circles, planes, and stripes to create powerful works that are at once subtle and eccentric. This extraordinary book, designed in collaboration with the artist herself, is a substantial and deeply insightful treatment of her career to date and features sixty works made over the past decade. Essays not only contextualize Abts's work within an art-historical framework of methods, process, and style, but also examine her paintings' philosophical and psychological dimensions and their embodiment of a creative process that transcends the specifics of any particular work. The beautifully designed and illustrated exhibition catalogue examines both the art-historical framework of Tomma Abts's painting as well as its deep philosophical and psychological dimensions. James Rondeau is president and Eloise W. Martin Director of the Art Institute of Chicago. Lizzie Carey-Thomas is head of programs at the Serpentine Galleries in London. Kate Nesin is an independent art historian. Juliane Rebentisch is a professor of philosophy and aesthetics at the Offenbach University of Art and Design in Berlin"-- $c Provided by publisher. 500 $a "Tomma Abts was published in conjunction with an exhibition of the same title organized by the Art Institute of Chicago and the Serpentine Galleries." 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 600 10 $a Abts, Tomma, $d 1967- $v Exhibitions. 600 17 $a Abts, Tomma, $d 1967- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01632119 650 0 $a Painting, Abstract $z Germany $v Exhibitions. 650 7 $a ART / Individual Artists / Monographs. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a ART / History / Contemporary (1945-). $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a ART / Collections, Catalogs, Exhibitions / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Painting, Abstract. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01050640 651 7 $a Germany. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210272 655 7 $a Exhibition catalogs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01424028 700 1 $a Rondeau, James, $e author. $e author. 700 1 $a Waitoller, Lekha Hileman, $e editor. 710 2 $a Art Institute of Chicago, $e host institution. $e host institution. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217022935.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EE6B3BB0E96D11E8978F920F97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
