In this first ever collaboration with Glenn Brown, TASCHEN pays tribute to his distinct style which is known for his grotesque reinterpretations of artworks by historical artists including Salvador Dalí, Frank Auerbach, and Rembrandt. Working solely from reproductions—postcards and online images have variously served as inspirations—Brown distorts the originals.
This XXL volume treats the viewer to a close encounter with Brown’s eye-deceiving renderings of brushstrokes from sources between sci-fi and the old masters. It is being released as a Collector’s Edition, and two Art Editions.
Glenn Brown - Collector's Edition - Hand painted covers. SOLD OUT
In his paintings, paint sculptures, and drawings, Glenn Brown confronts the history of art with a contemporary understanding of paint’s materiality and a barbed sense of color. This Art Edition treats the viewer to a close encounter with Brown’s eye-deceiving renderings of brushstrokes from sources between sci-fi and the old masters.
