Intended

as a touchstone for all those interested in Nathaniel Mary Quinn’s work for years to come, this monograph, dedicated to the

artist, encapsulates over ten years of paintings

and works on paper, and provides multiple perspectives and insights into Quinn’s

career to date. Archival photographs of the artist and his studio, offer a

peak into Quinn’s working process and reference

materials. With an introduction by Larry Gagosian, the book features new

texts by Dawn Ades and Andrew Winer. An in-depth interview between the artist

and Sarah Elizabeth Lewis examines Quinn’s approach to his practice, his vision,

and everything in-between.

This monograph is the first

comprehensive survey of Nathaniel Mary Quinn’s work, featuring paintings made

since 2013. Quinn’s images combine bodily fragments derived from sources that

include both personal images and those culled from the media. Working without

preliminary sketches, he forms composite images of faces and figures that

resemble collages but are in fact painted and drawn. Developed with oil

paint, charcoal, gouache, oil stick, and pastel, these works address the

hybridity of perception and identity.

The

book includes over 125 color plates of Quinn’s paintings, as well as studio

photographs that offer an insight into his process. An introduction from Larry

Gagosian is followed by an essay by Andrew Winer which discusses his work in

terms of representation, abstraction, and memory. The volume also features a

conversation between the artist and Sarah Elizabeth Lewis that offers

firsthand reflections on the painter’s practice, as well as an essay by Dawn

Ades contextualizing Quinn’s work in relation to Modern and contemporary

collage, painting, and portraiture.
