"The enormous Paul Thek: Artist's Artist is rich with images of Thek's wildly varied work from the '50s to the '80s, and reveals how Thek the person sometimes interfered with Thek the artist." -- BOMB Magazine
Kurzbeschreibung
Paul Thek occupied a place between high art and low art, between the epic and the everyday. During his brief life (1933-1988), he went against the grain of art world trends, humanizing the institutional spaces of art with the force of his humor, spirituality, and character. Twenty years after Thek's death from AIDS, we can now recognize his influence on contemporary artists ranging from Vito Acconci and Bruce Nauman to Matthew Barney, Mike Kelley, and Paul McCarthy, as well as Kai Althoff, Jonathan Meese, and Thomas Hirschhorn. This book brings together more than 300 of Thek's works--many of which are published here for the first time--to offer the most comprehensive display of his work yet seen. The book, which accompanies an exhibition at ZKM ? Museum of Contemporary Art presenting Thek's work in dialogue with contemporary art by young artists, includes painting, sculpture, drawing, and installation work, as well as photographs documenting the room-size environments into which Thek incorporated elements from art, literature, theater, and religion. These works chart Thek's journey from legendary outsider to foundational figure in contemporary art. In their antiheroic diversity, Thek's works embody the art revolution of the 1960s; indeed, Susan Sontag dedicated her classic Against Interpretation to him. Thek's treatment of the body in such works as "Technological Reliquaries," with their castings and replicas of human body parts, tissue, and bones, both evoke the aura of Christian relics and anticipate the work of Damien Hirst. The book, with more than 500 images (300 in color) and nineteen essays by art historians, curators, collectors, and artists, investigates Thek's work on its own terms, and as a starting point for understanding the work of the many younger artists Thek has influenced.Essays byJean-Christophe Ammann, Margrit Brehm, Bazon Brock, Suzanne Delehanty, Harald Falckenberg, Marietta Franke, Stefan Germer, Kim Gordon, Roland Groenenboom, Axel Heil, Gregor Jansen, Mike Kelley, John Miller, Susanne Neubauer, Kenny Schachter, Harald Szeemann, Annette Tietenberg, Peter Weibel, Ann Wilson

This book is huge

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This is a fantastic book. Everything you want to know about Paul Thek is in here. I was surprised when the book arrived how huge it is. 640 pages of pure goodness makes that the best Thek book out their. (Unless you have a bad back.)

An artist for everybody
12. September 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
As an old friend of Paul Thek from the 60ies in Rome until the 80ies in New York I can only say that I loved the man and the artist. Thanks to him, I knew how an artist comes to life and he allowed me to see his creative process almost being a part of it with him (paintings, bronze sculptures). This book is something I was waiting for a long time.
Every artist should check "Paul Thek: Artist's Artist".

Paul Thek: Artist's Artist
12. Februar 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This very comprehensive volume is a fine example and excellent model of how to compile
informative, often obscure information about an artist, his work and life,
between the covers of a single book.
Paul Thek, the artist's artist was an individual creative force who explored the unknown,
often overshadowed by his
contemporaries, such as Warhol, Johns, Rauchenberg, and Lichentenstein to name but a few.
His art seldom extended throughout the art world to the much publized degree of many of his
contemporaries.
yet it has withstood the test of time and he remains in my mind to be among the finest American
artists of the 20th Century.
This book rewards to him a long overdue, deserved recognition among his peers.
