n nWith his arresting, unsettling style, George Condo emerged out of the dynamism of the New York art scene in the early 1980s, and he has been restlessly painting, drawing, and sculpting ever since. With his fake old masters, reconfigured Manets, and intricate paintings that seem abstract only from a distance, Condo has invented, mastered, and expanded not just one painterly language but an entire lexicon.n nWorking closely with Condo, curator Simon Baker combines biographical, chronological, and thematic approaches to survey the artists work and career to date. This volume includes an introductory essay on Condos contradictory nature, a chapter exploring his phenomenal early career, and three thematic chapters that trace Condos systematic reconstruction of the techniques of painting from 1984 to the present. Baker explores Condos relationship to the concept of abstraction, and probes the darker side of Condos psychological iconography in drawing, painting, sculpture, and writing.n n George Condo is a stunning volume on the work and life of this unique artist whose art continues to surprise, shock, and inspire. n
