George Condo

By George Condo

New approaches to Condo's work, such as his relationship to music and his years in Paris, inform this survey of his Pop art-informed, unsettling paintings

Emerging during the effervescence of the early 1980s in New York, alongside artist friends Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat, George Condo (born 1957) stands out for his appropriation of past European styles and techniques to address contemporary issues. With his quick and precise brushstrokes, he produces pieces of rare intensity, centered on the human figure. Described by French psychoanalyst F lix Guattari as "art that reflects schizoid potentialities," Condo's work explores the paradoxes of the human psyche and the grotesqueness of society. Published to accompany George Condo's major solo exhibition at the Mus e d'Art Moderne de Paris, this volume proposes a comprehensive overview of the American artist's work, spanning his artistic practice in painting, sculpture and drawing from the early 1980s to now.
