{"product_id":"giorgio-morandi-late-paintings","title":"Giorgio Morandi: Late Paintings","description":"This publication focuses on the period from 1948 to 1964, during which Morandi developed  and refined his investigations of serial, reduct ive, and permutational forms and compositions, a  body of work that has had a profound influence on twentieth - century art and painting.  Included here are five of the ten iconic \"yellow cloth\" paintings from 1952, a series featured  prominently in the histori c 1998 exhibition at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, and  numerous late paintings by the Italian master. Lavishly reproduced, these immersive plates  draw attention to the idiosyncratic perspectival and color - driven decisions that give the work  it s abstract power. The catalogue is published on the occasion of the 2015 exhibition of  Morandi's paintings from this period at David Zwirner, New York - which, according to  The  New York Times , represent \"lucid perfection, at once cerebral and impassioned.\" I t marked  the first major presentation of the artist's late work in America since the acclaimed 2008  retrospective at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. In addition to an essay by  Laura Mattioli and a foreword by David Leiber, who organized the  exhibition, this catalogue includes a fantastic array of contributions by contemporary artists.  They offer their personal responses to Morandi's work and to the Zwirner exhibition in  particular. Working in different media across many disciplines, this dive rse list of contributors is  a testament to the reach of Morandi's paintings and their influence on contemporary art.","brand":"David Zwirner Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42665087434788,"sku":"9781941701560","price":76.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9781941701560.jpg?v=1780171636","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/giorgio-morandi-late-paintings","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
