Subliming Vessel: The Drawings of Matthew Barney

Subliming Vessel: The Drawings of Matthew Barney
- Used Book in Good Condition
This accompanying catalogue to largest exhibition of Matthew Barneyâ€™s extraordinary drawings to date explores this central aspect of the artistâ€™s important body of work.
Â
Drawing has always been an incredibly important part of Matthew Barneyâ€™s practice: his first major workâ€”completed while still at Yale Art Schoolâ€”involved him creating a wall drawing while harnessed to the ceiling of his studio. In this exhibition and accompanying catalogue, one hundred of the artistâ€™s most important drawings are presented from his major series of worksâ€”including â€œThe Cremaster Cycle,â€ â€œThe Drawing Restraintâ€ series, and most notably â€œAncient Evenings,â€ the body of work that has occupied the artist in the last few years (and is based on Norman Mailerâ€™s ancient Egyptian-inspired novel of the same name).
Â
This exhibition and catalogue also represent a unique collaboration between the artist and the august Morgan Library, in which he was invited by the institution to mine their extensive holdings in order to include objects (drawings, manuscripts, etc.) in the installation of his work, to create an interesting framework around the many ideas the artist is exploring.
Â
In addition to a major essay by curator Klaus Kertess, who considers the many themes the artist draws from, the book includes a poetic contribution by artist Roni Horn and an insightful text by Adam Phillips, noted psychoanalyst.
