Blinky Palermo, Christine Mehring

Blinky Palermo : Abstraction of an Era

description

"This [monograph] -- a historical and critical study of Palermo''s painting from the time he entered Joseph Beuys''s now famous class at the Düsseldorf academy in 1964 to his death in 1977 -- explores his significance for postwar and abstract art. Christine Mehring notes that over the course of Palermo''s brief career he created five concurrent but distinct bodies of work: objects, cloth-pictures, wall-paintings, metal-pictures, and collaborative projects, primarily with his friend and colleague Gerhard Richter. Mehring shows how each of these groups demonstrates Palermo''s efforts to lead German art out of its international isolation and to transform modernist painting into historically resonant abstraction by incorporating artifice, humor, period colors, and play.." -- publisher''s statement.
