Item Number: 136681 Title: DARREN BADER : 77 and/or 58 and/or 19 Author: Price: Not Available ISBN: 9780990689638 Description: New York: Primary Informatoin, 2015. 21cm., pbk., 90pp., 23 color illus. Summary: This volume of writings by New York conceptualist Darren Bader (born 1978) features texts for 77 artworks. Writing is at the core of Bader's work: he offers deceptively simple propositions for artworks to be carried out by gallerists, museums and collectors who then exhibit the works. Each time a work is sold, Bader produces a text that explains the parameters of the artwork. The propositions can be extremely precise or abstract; however, these guides are not made available to the public. Bader has also written propositions for impossible artworks, such as a proposal for installing a baby-changing table under Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper" at the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan. This book foregrounds Bader's writing and provides a key to his humorous and sometimes enigmatic works. We regret to inform you that this title is no longer available. P.O.
