About This Item
New York: Rizzoli, 2008. Large, heavy book: NO priority or international orders. 1st printing. Tight and unmarked in grey boards. Book and jacket show only very slight wear. 284pp. Dust jacket now in a new mylar cover. Tom Wesselmann was the most unabashedly sexual of the canonical pop artists. Yet the blatancy of his highly stylized figures, in their cool, slick renderings, makes them subtle and opens up his images to multiple readings. This new volume with 270 illustrations covers the richness and wit of Tom Wesselmann’s career up to his death in 2004 and brings him into the limelight he deserves. Noted author John Wilmerding captures the spirit of the artist by interviewing family members and reviewing day-to-day journals.. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good.
