Published on the occasion of Smith's critically acclaimed first exhibition at David Zwirner, this catalogue features a new body of work that marks an important evolution for the artist. In these paintings, Smith sets the stage for a new mode of self-reflective commentary on image making, acknowledging that \"the meaning perhaps arises in the making.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA new essay by curator Bob Nickas treats the Reaper, Turtle, and Devil figures from \u003ci\u003eEmo Jungle\u003c\/i\u003e as ciphers through which to understand Smith's work. Nickas demonstrates how these new paintings re-stage and personalize the artist's more abstract earlier works and illuminates the ways in which repetition functions within Smith's practice. With more than one hundred illustrations, this book serves as the ideal introduction to Smith's disruptive oeuvre.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Josh Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1644230399\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781644230398\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e David Zwirner Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.90h x 8.90w x 0.70d","brand":"Josh Smith","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44829659398399,"sku":"9781644230398","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a256664e-d7f0-41a4-b616-2af8fe1796f2.jpg?v=1708451335","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/josh-smith-josh-smith-9781644230398","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
