{"product_id":"apparitions-allegra-pesenti-9780300214697","title":"Apparitions: Frottages and Rubbings from 1860 to Now","description":"This fascinating publication sheds light on a medium that combines the qualities of drawing with those of sculpture, printmaking, and painting, and is the first to focus exclusively on the art technique known as \u003ci\u003efrottage\u003c\/i\u003e, derived from the French word \u003ci\u003efrotter, \u003c\/i\u003emeaning \"to rub.\" Over 100 pieces, ranging from contemporary conceptual works to rubbings recording tombs and inscriptions, are assembled and sumptuously reproduced in color. More than 50 artists--including the famous, like Max Ernst, inventor of the term \"frottage,\" and the relatively unknown--are presented. Four thematic sections explore different aspects of frottage: its roots in Surrealism and the practice of automatic drawing; the notion of trace, of either a place or an idea left behind in a rubbing; the \"apparitions\" or ghostlike attributes that can appear on the surface of an artwork; and the associations between rubbings, death, and memory. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDistributed for the Menil Collection \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHammer Museum, UCLA\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (02\/08\/15-05\/31\/15)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Menil Collection\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (09\/11\/15-01\/03\/16)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Allegra Pesenti\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300214693\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300214697\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Menil Foundation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/13\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.40h x 9.80w x 0.80d","brand":"Allegra Pesenti","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44076006703359,"sku":"9780300214697","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ed550e93-81fa-496d-a0df-16421164e1b4.jpg?v=1685462652","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/apparitions-allegra-pesenti-9780300214697","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
