Artists Postcards by Jeremy Cooper
The first detailed description of artists creation and use of postcards, Artists Postcards features 400 illustrations of works by many well-known artists including Rachel Whiteread, Ellsworth Kelly, Gilbert and George, David Hockney, Joseph Beuys, Dieter Roth and Tacita Dean.
'A curious mix of transience, sentimentality, obsolescence and nostalgia surrounds the humble postcard, which makes them a fertile format for an artist to express themselvesThe past 20 years or so has seen a range of artists utilising the postcard, including Rachel Whiteread, Ellsworth Kelly, Gilbert and George and many others. Jeremy Cooper traces this history from the 1900s through to Surrealism and conceptual art and up to the present. This is not a tenuous theme, but a fascinating one, that takes in many important artists on the way.' - The Bookseller
