The black pictorial boards remain bright and largely sharp, showing only light rubbing to the extremities and a minuscule nick to the top edge of the front board. The binding is remarkably tight and square, suggesting the volume has been seldom opened or read. Internally, the pages are exceptionally clean, crisp, and free from foxing, tearing, or previous ownership inscriptions, ensuring the high-quality colour reproductions are preserved in fine state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"658\"\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/b\u003e: This is a first edition hardcover issue of the catalogue published to accompany Glenn Brown's major retrospective exhibition at Tate Liverpool, which later toured to the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo in Turin and the Ludwig Museum in Budapest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eWhile softcover iterations of this catalogue are relatively common, this hardcover variant in the black pictorial boards is decidedly uncommon on the open market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003eThe volume is highly illustrated throughout with rich, full-colour reproductions of Brown's paintings and sculptures, including several luxurious gatefold spreads that capture the intricate details and scale of his work.

Accompanying his major 2009 touring retrospective, this comprehensive catalogue explores Brown's fascinating visual language where naturalistic colour becomes lurid, figures are distorted into the grotesque, and heavy impasto brushwork is rendered as a flat, flawless surface. Featuring over sixty works, alongside an interview with the artist and critical essays, the book offers an unparalleled examination of Brown’s unique methodology and his profound impact on the international contemporary art scene.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55598182531411,"sku":"6476","price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20261021_110725.jpg?v=1792918112","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/glenn-brown-1st-edition","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
