Kicking off a new series entitled Artists-on-Artists, P.S.1 Project Artist Shannon Ebner started a conversation with her friend and collaborator Adam Putnam on icons, artifacts and invisibility…

James Rosenquist. Painting Below Zero: Notes on a Life in Art. “Frank, funny, truthful, ironic and in every way an entertaining account of one major American artist’s involvement in an art movement that interests everyone–and, more than that, of his own character. Jim Rosenquist is a true American original and his book ought to be read by anyone who wants to understand the last half-century of his country’s visual culture, high, low, and in between.” –Robert Hughes, amazon |
