Monochrome Paintings

description

Artist's book / exhibition catalogue published in conjunction with exhibition held May 12 - July 7, 1989. Traveled to Municipal Art Gallery, Los Angeles, July 18 - August 20, 1989. Acknowledgments by Susanne Ghez. A sly book of pseudo-reproductions of works of monochrome paintings by Malevich, Rodchenko, Strzeminski, Newman, Rauschenberg, Kelly, Klein, Manzoni, Reinhardt, Fontana, Marden, Ryman, Richter, and Palermo. Prina's reinterpretations executed to scale by Champion Auto Body, Los Angeles. Reproductions with book all in black and documenting both the original work, and the paint type of Prina's surrogate. Includes bibliography.
