Excellent condition. Hardcover two-volume set of paintings and drawings by Chuck Webster and Eddie Martinez. This collection is produced by ZieherSmith and PictureBox. The set includes one yellow cloth-bound book and one green cloth-bound book, held together by a red paper belly band. The books contain text by João Ribas and Geoffrey Young, along with interviews with the artists.This two-volume set features the psychedelic, expressionistic figuration of Eddie Martinez in one volume and the Thomas Nozkowski-esque abstractions of Chuck Webster in the other. Both Brooklyn-based artists, represented in New York by Zieher-Smith, are enamored with paint--both, in fact, embrace painting\'s historical baggage, its romantic and spiritual undertones. Martinez combines fearlessly expressive paint handling with a feel for cartoon imagery and personal symbology. Webster, on the other hand, makes Minimal talismanic works that are formally rigorous and impeccably polished. Together they present a friendly argument for the myriad possibilities of contemporary painting. An interview with the artists, who are old friends, and a selection of their collaborative drawings form a bridge between the books. First monographs for both artists, these volumes also include essays by Joao Ribas and Geoffrey Young.Product information
