Christopher Wool
In diesem Künstlerbuch von 2018 überblendet Christopher Wool Fotos von chaotischen Hinterhoflagern mit staubigen Strassen, von texanischem Wüstenland mit vorgefundenen, skulpturähnlichen Alltagsgebilden. Zwei Realitäten durchdringen einander, und ihre Zeitebenen verschränken sich zu einer künstlerischen Wirklichkeit jenseits des Moments, den die Kamera des Künstlers eingefangen hat. Die Bilder transportieren die Geschichte ihrer eigenen Entstehung und klingen mit dem Sound, den wir aus Wools schwarz-weissen Gemälden kennen. Wie bei diesen verwendet er auch hier eigene Werke neu: Die Fotografien, die das Ausgangsmaterial für Yard liefern, stammen aus den ebenfalls bei Holzwarth Publications erschienenen Künstlerbüchern Road und Westtexaspsychosculpture. In this artist's book, Christopher Wool (born 1955) layers photos of backyard debris and dusty roads, of Texan wilderness and scenes rife with sculptural properties. Two realities invade each other and their overlapping actualities collapse into an artistic reality beyond the moment caught by the artist's camera. Thus the pictures are imbued with the history of their own making. For Yard, Wool has resampled photographic images that appeared in the previous artist's books Road and Westtexaspsychosculpture, also available from Holzwarth Publications. The book is published in an edition of 1,200 copies, all signed by the artist.--artbook.com.
