Description: New York, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 2016. Hardcover. Cardboard boards with gray cloth spine, color illustrated flyleaves, 336 pp. many color illustrations throughout. Issued in conjunction with a 2016 exhibition of unfinished art. Consists of a variety of thematic and illustrated essays. The main illustrated catalogue presents 205 full-color examples. Includes interviews with Vija Celmins, Marlene Dumas, Brice Marden, Luc Tuymans, and Rebecca Warren, as well as artist bios. "This groundbreaking book explores the evolving concept of unfinishedness as essential to understanding art movements from the Renaissance to the present day. Unfinished presents more than 200 works, created in a variety of media, by artists ranging from Leonardo, Titian, Rembrandt, Turner, and Cézanne to Picasso, Warhol, Twombly, Freud, Richter, and Nauman. What unites these works, across centuries and media, is that each one displays some aspect of being unfinished. Essays and case studies by major contemporary scholars address this key concept from the perspective of both the creator and the viewer, probing the impact that this long artistic trajectory-which can be traced back to the first century-has had on modern and contemporary art. The book investigates the degrees to which instances of incompleteness were accidental or intentional, experimental or conceptual. Also included are illuminating interviews with contemporary artists, including Tuymans, Celmins, and Marden, and parallel considerations of the unfinished in literature and film. The result is a multidisciplinary approach and thought-provoking analysis that provide valuable insight into the making, meaning, and critical reception of the unfinished in art"--Cover. VG: Exlibrary book. Tape remains from a sticker that had been at the base of the spine. Stamp on front free end page. Stamp, sticker, and due date card on the back free end page.
