Designed as an \"unruly\" artist's book, \u003ci\u003eTreatise of a Coat\u003c\/i\u003e features multiple physical and linguistic folds. Its title conveys the homonymic similarities of the word \"coat\" the literal jacket that is unfurled to expose the naked and unruly shame of human forms; the fur or hair of an animal; the verb function of \"to coat\" that intentionally builds up visual desire--the acts of lacquering, spreading, enclosing, flooding, directing, or husking that line and color expedite when creating an image. In effect, the constituent materiality of this book is designed with the physicality of making a work on paper in mind. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Helen Marten\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3753309133\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783753309132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Walther Konig Verlag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/10\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.80h x 8.70w x 1.20d","brand":"Helen Marten","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48175813853439,"sku":"9783753309132","price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a9687df7-6cf6-4a2d-a854-87055dd023be.jpg?v=1771336034","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/helen-marten-helen-marten-9783753309132","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
