Author: Condo, GeorgeEmerging during the effervescence of the early 1980s in New York, alongside artist friends Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat, George Condo stands out for h is appropriation of past European styles and techniques to address contemporary issues. With his quick and precise brushstrokes, he produces pieces of rare intensity, centred on the human figure. Published to accompany George Condo’s major solo exhibition at the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris.This volume proposes a comprehensive overview of the American artist’s work, spanning his artistic practice in painting, sculpture and drawing from the early 1980s to now.Described by French psychoanalyst Félix Guattari as “art that reflects schizoid potentialities,” Condo's work explores the paradoxes of the human psyche and the grotesqueness of society.
