Pressestimmen

“Marc Bell is a riddle wrapped in a conundrum further wrapped in salty bacon.” —L.A. Weekly

Kurzbeschreibung
“A gifted . . . cartoonist . . . The delight of his work is in the play of a free-associating and funny imagination.” –Ken Johnson, The New York Times
Marc Bell’s Hot Potatoe seamlessly combines more than a decade’s worth of comics activities with a lifelong devotion to, as Bell calls it, “Fine Ahtwerks.” Part artmonograph, part comics collection,Hot Potatoe is filled with mixed-media cardboard constructions, watercolor drawings, altered found texts, and Bell’s most intense, dizzying comics from the contemporary avant-garde comics anthologies Kramers Ergot and The Ganzfeld. Bell’s works have their roots in draftsmanship, typography, and old-fashioned gags, but morph into assemblages that connect his images into real space. His comics are funny, seat-of-thepants narratives that give the characters an inner life.
Represented by the Adam Baumgold Gallery in Manhattan, Bell is one of the leading lights in the new emphasis on drawing in the art world. He comes on like a stepchild of R. Crumb, Ray Johnson, and Basquiat, armed with a dashing and looping rapidograph.

Fantastic!
3. Januar 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I was a little surprised when this book came out because although I love Marc Bell's drawings and artworks up til now his illustrations have only been reproduced in comic book or graphic novel type formats. But this is a beautiful, large, thick hardcover collection that gives you all the Marc Bell artwork you could want. If you know his work then you can't go wrong here. One of my favorite books from 2009.

An Amazing Volume That Reveals Itself Over Time
18. Dezember 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
"Hot Potatoe" is full of delightful details, quirky catchphrases and drawings that make the impossible seem normal, and even rational in this strange world of Marc Bell. If you enjoy taking your time to delve into idiosyncratic worlds full of visual puns, then this book is most definitely for you.
After having the book in my possession for just over a month, I have opened it here and there and returned to it over and over again. The result has been a body of work that has revealed itself over time. It's an immersive experience, really, and one that asks viewers to reconsider what they think they know in favor of something else that challenges perception itself.
An added bonus to the book are the essays, which are well-thought out and complement the entire monograph nicely.

...yes, the art style is quite interesting. Yes, it is obvious that a huge amount of work was put into this, and it is not hackwork by any means. And yet, I am having a very difficult time of making any sense of the art, and because of that, the book is boring to me no matter how much I try to like it.
I don't think I'm very hostile to the concept of stream of consciousness line art... I'm a big fan of the works of some other artists who try something like this (I'm thinking of Bruce Bickford and Theo Ellsworth). But most of the drawings here I just can't figure out. I'm having trouble finding the right wavelength to make sense of all this seemingly very random material.
It does seem that other reviewers here don't have the problem, so obviously Marc Bell has succeeded in getting his message across to SOME people. Make sure you're one of them before you buy this book - check out some of his stuff online first by doing an image search on your favourite search engine.
