Richard Allen Morris: Retrospective 1958-2004 (Art Catalogue)
Siri Hustvedt, John Baldessari, ...

Kerber, 2005

After almost five decades of painting in the relative wilderness of San Diego, Richard Allen Morris has suddenly become a deserved art-world darling. Long admired by fellow West Coast artists like John Baldessari and East Coasters like David Reed, Morris has displayed a restless engagement with Abstract Expressionism over his long career, from early, large, blown-up-to-abstraction riffs on Giotto and Toulouse-Lautrec to his more recent, ...

John Baldessari

Princeton Architectural Press, 2004

In John Baldessari's new book, Yours in Food , the founding member of the conceptual art movement explores America at the table, savoring the nuances of breaking bread in carefully composed vignettes culled appropriated video and film.

Independent Curators International, New York, 2004

100 Artists See GOD, not politics
In response to the sole review for this book, having been at the exhibit I have to say that both the catalogue and the show did very well in sharing honest and intimate perspectives about personal relationships with divinity. While more political venues consistantly discuss God solely in relationship to religion, church, and state, _100 Artists See God_ serves both as a breath of fresh air and a ...

For painters faced with the metaphorical death of painting, the way forward has indeed been puzzling. nevertheless, the territory continues to be explored. As Luc Tuymans put it, iPainting is a way of thinking and constitutes an enormous archetypal pattern which artists constantly fall back upon.i The Undiscovered Country addresses, through 84 stunning reproductions, the ability of painting to tackle issues of representation now that, in the ...

Sigrid Adorf, Giorgio Agamben, ...

Walther Konig, 2004

Taking its title from Deleuze, this exhibition and catalogue consider the body linguistically. In what sense do bodies produce language, how are they themselves grasped and defined by it, and what spaces for action are opened up by this understanding?

John Baldessari
Tracey Bashkoff, John Baldessari, ...

Guggenheim Museum, 2005

The American artist John Baldessari rose to prominence in the late 1960s, combining Pop Art's use of mass media imagery with Conceptual art's use of language to create a unique body of work that has become a hallmark of postmodern art. Early in his career, Baldessari began incorporating images and text utilized by the advertising and movie industries into his photo-based art. He appropriated pictures and movie stills, juxtaposing, editing, and ...

Giovanni Anselmo, Stefan Gronnert, ...

Walker Art Center, 2003

How did this come to be? The Last Picture Show will address the emergence of this phenomenon of artists using photography by tracing the development of conceptual trends in postwar photographic practice from its first glimmerings in the 60s in the ...

Do It

e-flux/Revolver, 2005

an unusual, clever, and fun angle on contemporary art
The editor/curators of this book got 50 contemporary artists to each write down instructions for a do-it-yourself art project, for the reader to try. Each is a small revelation of the artist, and a thought-provoker in itself. It's intelligent and fun -- a very clever expression and extension of contemporary art. It's just the thing for anyone who wishes they were artistic: you read an entry, ...

Highly influential artist and teacher John Baldessari became known in late 1960s Southern California as a conceptual painter, and since then he has worked in a variety of other media, including photography, artist books, video and printmaking.

00: Drawings 2000 at Barbara Gladstone Gallery

Barbara Gladstone Gallery, 2002

Changing the Meaning of Drawing
This fabulous collction of virtually every one of the most vital contemporary artist is, simply put, a must. The talent and diversity of these works are astounding and envigorating. The title "Drawing" conjures up images of simple sketches, pencil works and other trite mediums of drawing. However, these works prove that drawing, the element of art that is the product of the artist's mind ...

John Baldessari & Alejandro Cesarco: Retrospective
John Baldessari, Alejandro Cesarco

Walther Konig, 2008

Retrospective --a collaborative project by John Baldessari, the legendary California conceptualist, and Alejandro Cesarco, a Uruguayan, Brooklyn-based artist born in 1975--uses the act of looking back as a framing device and a narrative mode. Implicit in the work is a concern for the consequences of retelling and representing the past in the present.
