Using a fixed canvas size and a vertical format, Abts deploys basic formal elements such as arcs, circles, planes, and stripes to create powerful works that are at once subtle and eccentric. This extraordinary book, designed in collaboration with the artist herself, is a substantial and deeply insightful treatment of her career to date and features sixty works made over the past decade. Essays not only contextualize Abts's work within an art-historical framework of methods, process, and style, but also examine her paintings' philosophical and psychological dimensions and their embodiment of a creative process that transcends the specifics of any particular work. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDistributed for the Art Institute of Chicago \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSerpentine Galleries, London\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (06\/06\/18-09\/09\/18)\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eArt Institute of Chicago\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (10\/18\/18-02\/17\/19)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Rondeau\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300233876\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300233872\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Art Institute of Chicago\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/14\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 13.60h x 9.90w x 0.80d","brand":"James Rondeau","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44076008538367,"sku":"9780300233872","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fb37da32-2db7-479c-9ca1-8bd4407b81a5.jpg?v=1685462663","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tomma-abts-james-rondeau-9780300233872","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
