Item Number: 125518 Title: MAGNUS PLESSEN : Riding the Image Author: Luard, Honey Price: Not Available ISBN: 9781906072667 Description: London: White Cube, 2013. 31cm., hardcover, 111pp. illus., most in color. Summary : Known for paintings that oscillate nimbly between abstraction and figuration, Magnus Plessen (born 1967) focuses here on rotation as a means of reordering the relation of the viewer to the painting. These latest works simultaneously feature figurative elements that are ostensibly recognizable--hands, heads, feet--combined with abstract passages that serve to restructure order and dimensionality within the painting. This effect is reinforced by a deliberate illogicality; representational aspects of body parts are fragmented and disembodied, elusive and transitory, unbound by any particular viewpoint or frame of reference. Riding the Image surveys this development in Plessen’s art. We regret to inform you that this title is no longer available. P.O.
