Title: Painting Is Not Doomed to Repeat Itself
Description: New York, NY, Hollis Taggart Galleries, 2015. Softcover. White & color illus. wraps, 40 pp. many color illus. Issued in conjunction with a 2015 exhibition "that celebrates the diversity of contemporary painting through the work of fourteen artists who are reimagining what it means to be a painter in the twenty-first century. Though they are certainly not without history, these artists rarely, if ever, look to their art historical precedents for aesthetic inspiration and instead turn to the accoutrement of the street, the inner workings of the artist's psyche, the remnants and reconfigurations of their own past work, and even to investigations of the act of painting itself." With an essay by John Yau and an introduciton by Hollis Taggart. Each of the artists gets a double-page spread featuring a brief introduction and critique and most often, several full-color examples of his/her work. The artists are: Michael Armitage, Squeak Carnwath, Daniel Douke, Julia Fish, Brenda Goodman, Merlin James, Joshua Marsh, Catherine Murphy, Thomas Nozkowski, Cordy Ryman, Philip Taaffe, Barbara Takenaga, Wendy White, and Jack Whitten. Uncommon. VG+ .
