Rex Ray ISBN: 9781452176789 (HB - E) € commander liste d'envies This deluxe volume celebrates the artistic legacy of iconic San Francisco artist Rex Ray (1956-2015). Featuring more than 100 of his canvases and collages-including never-before-seen pieces courtesy of the Rex Ray Estate-along with essays by celebrated writer Rebecca Solnit, art critic Christian Frock, and Ray's gallerist and friend Griff Williams, this exuberant mono­graph pays tribute to Ray's life and work. His playful painted paper collages and organic, abstract forms have earned him com­parisons to artists like Paul Klee and Henri Matisse; now, both longtime collectors and new fans can revel in the beauty of Ray's inimitable body of work. The vibrancy of the artwork shines through a removable die-cut bellyband, making this monograph as tactile and innovative as the artist's own practice.
