IVAM Centre del Carme, Valencia, 2000 | Softcover, 138pp | 24.5 × 30 cm | First Edition Published on the occasion of Michael Craig-Martin’s 2000–01 exhibition at IVAM Centre del Carme, this radiant catalogue explores the artist’s transformation of the gallery into a total environment - a cathedral of acid green, violet and chrome pink. Texts by Enrique Juncosa and Teresa Millet trace Craig-Martin’s journey from early conceptual structures to the luminous graphic paintings that turned buckets, ladders and lightbulbs into icons of contemporary seeing. The book reads like a study in visual oxygen: an artist re-wiring Pop through the discipline of minimalism, proving that colour can be both intellect and emotion. Interviews, installation views and essays reveal his fascination with the everyday object as symbol, syntax and mirror of perception. Bound in saturated magenta glossy softcovers with Craig-Martin’s signature object motifs, this large oblong volume is a riot of colour and conceptual precision. Interior printed on heavy coated stock with full-bleed plates and fluorescent chapter dividers - a perfect fusion of exhibition design and print architecture. Text in Spanish, with English translation at the end of the book. Very good condition: Light surface wear and minor creasing to covers; interior crisp, bright and unmarked. Binding tight.
