Title: Tom Hackney: Corresponding Squares, Painting the Chess Games of Marcel Duchamp
Description: New York, NY, Francis M. Naumann Fine Art, LLC, 2016. Softcover. Small Square Quarto. Softcover. Illustrated covers. 44 pages. In his ongoing series of chess paintings, British artist Tom Hackney translates the chess games of influential artist and self-avowed chess fanatic Marcel Duchamp into vivid geometric abstractions. Tom Hackney (b. 1977, UK) lives and works in London. Painting forms the basis of Hackney?s art practice as a mode, a vessel, and as a narrative. Often generated in response to specific historical material, Hackney?s work incorporates pre-existing forms and structures, which are recreated and replayed as a means of exploring more contemporary stakes. 00Exhibition: Francis M. Naumann Fine Art Gallery, NYC, USA (19.05.-11.09.0216). VG. Light bumping to a few corners.
