This Lavish Picture-Book Surveys Seth Price’S (*1973, Jerusalem) 2009–13 Series Of Knot Paintings, In Which Price Unites His Signature Vacuum-Forming Technique—An Industrial Plastic Packaging Process— With A Refined Group Of Painterly Techniques That Include Acrylic And Oil, Spray-Paint, Screen-Printing, Poured Resins, And Patterned Fabrics. Museum Brandhorst Director Achim Hochdörfer Has Written: “Each Knot Painting Introduces A Fresh Set Of Concerns: Drawing And Print Techniques Are Integrated, Slits Are Made In The Surface, New Ways Of Applying Paint Are Tested. Painting Becomes A Node In A Network Of Media-Related And Societal References.” Price Developed The Book’S Concept And Materials In Close Collaboration With Designer Joseph Logan, Yielding An Artist’S Book In Which The Layout Moves From Extreme Close-Up To Full Views Of These Rich Surfaces, While Plastics And Metal In The Book’S Binding Reflect The Materiality Of The Works.
