Summary:
Expanding on the themes introduced in Jo Baer's 2013 catalogue 'In the Land of the Giants' published for the dual exhibition at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam and the Ludwig Museum Cologne, Up Close in the Land of the Giants features extended texts, found and drawn images, and paintings by the artist. This new publication provides deep insight into Baer's research-based approach of locating source imagery in the Irish landscape, which has inspired and informed her visual lexicon for two decades. Exhibition: Pace Gallery, New York, USA (06.11-19.12.2020).
