En savoir plus
This is the fourth monograph of the American artist Ann Mandelbaum. It offers both analog black and white work from 1990-2000 and also digital color images from 2007-present. None of the 100 examples have been exhibited or published before. The richness of the volume lies in the 35 year process delineated. It reveals a continual obsession with the organic world-woven within abstraction and sensation-and processed originally through the depths of the darkroom and subsequently on the digital screen. The varied imagery spans the history of the medium, including the photogram and multiple printing. Throughout, surreal techniques employ sculpture, collage, and the language of drawing. Regardless of medium, Mandelbaum consistently reinvents and rediscovers a language of surprise.
ANN MANDELBAUM (*1945) has been working with a camera and sculptural materials for 40 years. For that same length of time she has been teaching Fine Art at Pratt Institute in New York. The artist´s work has been exhibited in international shows. She lives in Brooklyn and Costa Rica.
