JULIAN OPIE: PORTRAITS

Book First Edition
Illustrated Wrappers. Condition: As New. First Edition. 216pp, profusely illustrated in color. Text in English and German. Designed by wbg, ag. "Composed of his characteristically simplified lines and shapes, Julian Opie's portraits are rendered through computer technology. Beginning with a photograph scanned into a computer, the artist uses software to edit the images and hone in on their graphic essentials. The fascinating results become icons that serve to identify the individuals with the least information possible. Whereas most of Opie's portraits feature unknowns, some commissioned works feature public figures like Blur, Kate Moss or Michael Schumacher. By identifying them in the titles only by their first names and occupations, Opie zaps these celebrities of their fame and mythic status, simplifying them down to the familiar, human shape of their faces. A most handsome example of this uncommon item still in the publisher's shrinkwrap. PLEASE NOTE: Additional shipping costs are required for this item beyond our standard rates due to its weight - we will inform you of the applicable amount at time of purchase. Artist Monograph.
