Description

New York City-based artist Mel Bochner (born 1940) is one of the founders of Conceptual and installation art in America. "Monoprints" is, surprisingly, the first book devoted solely to this important artist's experimental printed works, even though Bochner has been producing text-based works for over 40 years. In the last 18 years, Bochner has produced a remarkable body of printed works in collaboration with Two Palms studio in New York, and "Monoprints" focuses on the often large-scale and incredibly physical text-based works made using the studio's industrial hydraulic press. The book is illustrated with 34 full-color reproductions and includes an essay by critic Barry Schwabsky, as well as an interview by Schwabsky with Bochner, in which the artist explains the genesis and evolution of this central part of his art-making activities.
