Terry Winters: Paintings, Drawings, Prints, 1994-2004 [Hardcover]

Adam D. Weinberg (Editor)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 10, 2004

Terry Winters’s work of the past decade weaves disparate strains of idea, object, and physical operations into the primary logic of his art. His art contains an astonishing array of forms and demonstrates the equally surprising breadth of his artistic language. This retrospective volume continues where the mid-career survey (1992) at the Whitney Museum concluded, presenting the past decade of Winters’s innovative work in paintings, prints, drawings, and artists’ books. Terry Winters presents the ways in which the artist creates sets and subsets of distinctive works that interact with bodies of previous and current work. Also included are images by the artist that have not previously been exhibited or published.
Winters’s work is frequently included in conversations and studies relating to the interplay of art and science, and his recent paintings, drawings, and prints reflect his engagement with scientific and computational systems of thought and presentations of information. For Winters, abstract art has become a vehicle not for “reproducing and inventing form but for harnessing forces.” By utilizing expressive means, “data becomes pictorial and spatial.” This superbly illustrated volume displays the full range of Winters’s newest works and the complex relationships that link them to one another.

This review is from: Terry Winters: Paintings, Drawings, Prints, 1994-2004 (Hardcover)

I gained a strong appreciation for Winters' work after taking a printmaking class. My instructor loved his work. Very nice reproductions, a good compendium of the work, I believe, Winters' is known for.
