Jack Pierson is one of the most influential American artists working today. Pierson works in a variety of media such as painting, drawing, photography, books, installation and film; as well as wall and floor sculptures assembled from found letters. Drawn to stardom, melodrama, loneliness and emotional narrative as subjects, Pierson infuses his work with visual and literal references to lost love, sexual longing, faded glamour, evanescence and beauty. Pierson is also concerned with the formal qualities of presentation and the number of aesthetic decisions required to achieve a balance between the narrative content of the artwork and its physical manifestation.
This publication on Pierson's work since 1992 is an artist's book that contains an amalgamation of eight previous publications, all of which are out of print. These books were designed by the artist and are reproduced here in their original size and chronological order.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: None. First Edition. In shrinkwrap. This publication--at once a daybook, a survey (it accompanies the artist's first exhibition in Ireland) and an artist's book--collects eight previous publications on the American artist Jack Pierson, several of which are long out of print. Pierson was among the first photographers to print pages with the imagery bleeding out of its usual white frame, and to deploy a bleached-out and overexposed style of photography that connotes a longing for a recent but already dimming past, littered with the props and players of yesterday's parties. By small increments, an emotional tone builds that is both warmly homoerotic and unabashedly wistful. All of these books were designed by the artist and are here reproduced in their original size and in chronological order. Jack Pierson makes photographs, word sculptures, installations, drawings and artist's books that excavate the emotional undercurrents of everyday life, from the intimacy of romantic attachment to the remote idolizing of the famous. Pierson has often engaged celebrity culture, refusing ironic treatment of the subject to instead confess, or seem to confess, his own attraction to the fantasy life depicted in his artworks. He has had recent solo exhibitions at Cheim & Read, New York; Alison Jacques Gallery, London and Regen Projects, Los Angeles. His work is held in the collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 2035234
