Accompanying an exhibition at Gagosian New York, this catalogue explores nine of Tom Wesselmann's monumental works made between 1967 and 1981. It marks the first time that the complete series of Standing Still Lifes has been exhibited. Each work in the series is comprised of multiple canvases shaped according to the outline of the commonplace objects that they depict. Wesselmann was one of the leading American Pop artists, perhaps best know for his Great American Nude series.

This attractive volume is offered with a choice of two covers, both on acetate printed in dazzling colour.

Insightful new text surveys past art movements in relation to the importance of Wesselmann's Standing Still Lifes.

Beautifully illustrated with over 70 colour images documenting the works in the exhibition and introducing the reader to Wesselmann's creative process, highlighting maquettes and preparatory drawings meticulously constructed by the artist, along with much of the source material that inspired the work.

A new meticulously researched chronology that encompasses Wesselmann's life and work from 1959 to 1982.
