Maggie Ramsey - See all my reviews

This review is from: ATELIER ADAMSON (Hardcover)

"Atelier Adamson" is a lovely survey of some of the foremost contemporary artists working today; beautifully rendered work by Chuck Close, Donald Sultan, Annie Leibovitz, Jim Dine and Robert Longo, to name a few, with rich, full-page images. The book is a catalogue for an exhibiton of prints from Adamson Editions, a digital atelier in Washington DC. David Adamson is the leading digital printmaker in the world, the caliber of artist that he works with, and the quality of the images proves this. A must-have for any fan or collector of contemporary art! Check out Chuck Close images of model Kate Moss, as well as Robert Longo's waves...

This book is an excellent compilation of the world's best contemporary artists. Adamson, one of the foremost printmaker's today, has captured the essence of the current photographic genius and collected it into a representation of not only what they are producing now, but also providing amazing glimpses of where they are taking their art in the future. Highly recommended for enthusiasts and amateurs alike.
