About This Item
Whitney Museum of American Art: New York, 2010. Hardcover. New/New. 10x1x11. [ART]. Paul Thek, Elisabeth Sussman, Lynn Zelevansky. "Paul Thek: The Diver." New York: Whitney Museum of American Art, 2010. English language. Hardcover in jacket. 10 x 1.25 x 11 in. 60 oz. 304 pages, 316 illustrations. Text clean. New. ISBN: 9780300165951."Published to accompany Thekâs first retrospective in the United States held at the Whitney Museum in 2010, this landmark publication includes nearly 300 chronologically arranged illustrations of sculptures, paintings, prints, and other works featured in the exhibition as well as four special âin-depthâ image sections focusing on key installations, projects, and pages from the artistâs journals. An extensive selection of documentary photographs, many never before published, illuminate Thekâs artistic aesthetic and production process. With a bibliography, exhibition history, and checklist of works in the exhibition, this overdue acknowledgment of Thekâs brief, but broad-reaching career will be the authoritative volume on the artist for years to come.An American sculptor, painter, and installation artist, Paul Thek (1933-1988) is primarily known for hyper-realistic works of human body parts executed in fleshlike beeswax and for his strongly symbolic, room-size installations constructed from transitory materials. A major figure on the 1960s New York art scene, Thek also spent time in Europe, where he paved the way for artists adopting collaborative strategies. Although he gained a large following and was featured in more than one hundred solo and group exhibitions, the anti-establishment âartistâs artistâ was practically forgotten at the time of his death. Major exhibitions abroad and critical attention from younger artists have done much to revive his reputation, and Paul Thek: Diver expands on those efforts by bringing the artistâs resounding influence on the art world up to date.
