Description
The third volume of a catalogue raisonnAc of Luc Tuymansâ?Ts paintings, surveying nearly two hundred works, charts the artistâ?Ts investigation into paintingâ?Ts relationship to history and technology. Tuymans is widely credited with having contributed to the revival of painting in the 1990s. His sparsely colored, figurative works speak in a quiet, restrained, and at times unsettling voice and are typically painted from preexisting imagery that includes photographs and video stills. The works in this volume, made between 2007 to 2018, show Tuymans at his most virtuosic, subtly but provocatively addressing a range of topics including religion, corporatization, and cultural memory, in addition to modernism and the history of painting. The Internet, in particular, is central to these works as well as the screenâ?"leading to a new style of contemporary image. The works are mediatized to the nth degree, despite the artistâ?Ts continuous use of the traditional medium of painting. There is a certain kind of light that comes out of a screen, which can be found in Tuymansâ?Ts recent paintings. This volume includes an editorâ?Ts note by Eva Meyer-Hermann and an illustrated chronology with archival images and installation views of the featured works. It also presents brilliant color reproductions of each painting from this period. This publication is a testament to Tuymansâ?Ts persistent assertion of the relevance and importance of paintingâ?"a conviction that he maintains even in todayâ?Ts digital world, when his work continues to be a touchstone for artists and scholars.
