John Ashbery: The Construction of Fiction

Poetry. Art. Collage. Edited by Antonio Sergio Bessa. Presenting over one hundred and twenty collages and archival material, JOHN ASHBERY: THE CONSTRUCTION OF FICTION is the most comprehensive catalog of John Ashbery's prolific collage work produced alongside his illustrious poetic career. Composition, whether with images or words, was Ashbery's m tier and collage became a major strategy since the beginning of his career as a poet. Through collage, Ashbery suggested narrative through the juxtaposition of seemingly random imagery that left to the reader the task of filling the gaps and making connections.
