Author: Eisenman, Nicole"American artist Nicole Eisenman (born 1965) is best known for her drawings and paintings, a body of work characterized by black humor; layered references to history, art history and popular culture; and disorienting currents of palpable longing and nightmarish fear. But alongside her paintings, and guided by the same tendency toward experimentation with texture and materials, Eisenman has also created a substantial body of sculptural work. Alternatively abstracted or comically distorted, coarse and dull or vibrating with color, the artists sculptures feature the same play of references and brash, in-your-face attitude that has cemented Eisenmans status as both an artiss artist and critical favorite. The first publication to focus on Eisenmans sculptures, Nicole Eisenman: Baden Baden Baden features more than 20 of the artists sculptures from recent years and includes 12 new works in painting and sculpture."ISBN 9783960984665.
