Thomas Chimes: Early Works (1958 - 1965), 2009
Text by Lisa Saltzman 56 pages,
Hardcover Published by Locks Art Publications ISBN: 978 -1-879173-41-5 «Developing, in these formative paintings, a visual style indebted to the palette and compositional structures of such modernist forefathers
as Marsden Hartley and Henri Matisse and emboldened by the stenographic proto - abstractions of such New York School predecessors
as Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko, Chimes systematically put forth a series of paintings that pressed such experimentations with the limits of figuration into the realm of the theological, the philosophical and the historical.
Hardcover books today are
as much about sentimentality
as they are about
text, but the work of a young artist now on view at the Studio Museum in Harlem eschews textuality altogether for an aesthetic and material communion with these spined signifiers.
This
hardcover edition of Voids serves
as a catalogue to the Centre Pompidou's retrospective of empty exhibitions, curated by the dream team of Laurent Le Bon, John Armleder, Mathieu Copeland, Gustav Metzger, Mai - Thu Perret, and Clive Phillpot, and featuring Yves Klein, Robert Barry, Art & Language, Stanley Brouwn, Laurie Parsons, Bethan Huws, Robert Irwin, Maria Eichhorn, Roman Ondák; but it also supplies a crucial anthology of
texts, with contributions by artists and writers such
as Stuart Comer, Brian O'Doherty, Ralph Rugoff, Jon Savage, Sarah Wilson, Peter Downsbrough, Lawrence Weiner, Sherrie Levine, Seth Price, Trisha Donnelly, Wade Guyton and Olivier Mosset, among others.
