Apocalyptic Wallpaper (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781881390169)

This publication borrows critic Harold Rosenberg's memorable phase "apocalyptic wallpaper" to describe the work of contemporary artists who have created wallpaper of their own design or appropriated the patterns of others, finding entirely new possibilities within this medium. Andy Warhol's celebrated Jersey Cow wallpaper, for example, humorously subverts the landscape motifs conventional wallpapers often use to bring nature indoors. Featured artists include Warhol, Robert Gober, Abigail Lane and Virgil Marti.
