Themes of intimacy, race, sex and mortality seen through the prism of a single colorFocusing on the artist's pivotal "Green Period.," this publication compiles prints, drawings and paintings by New York-based artist Carroll Dunham (born 1949) between 2018 and 2022. Using the color green as a pictorial and expressive tool, Dunham explored the quality and concept of "green" through images of figures in an archaic world of his own making. In these "figurative" works, Dunham explores intimacy, race, sex, aging, and his own graphic and painterly languages.Lavishly illustrated and designed, the publication features three newly commissioned essays: the curator and editor of the publication Dan Nadel writes on cross-media processes, and how the "Green Period." fits into the artist's history; artist Mary Simpson situates these works in the context of surgical theaters and the visualization of sex; and Dunham himself explores colors, narratives and the conceptual and formal background of these works. This definitive volume on one of the most thought-provoking painting series of the last decade offers a profound meditation on the nature of human existence in the 21st century.
