Title: Wade Guyton - WG3031
Description: "For this artist's book, Wade Guyton (born 1972) decided to print a large-format painting on a 1:1 scale, recomposed across 360 pages. Flipping through the pages, the reader encounters the fragments of a unique work, which might potentially be reconstructed by joining the pages together. This book constitutes a reflection on questions of reproduction, the original, the source and the act of re-formation at the heart of Guyton's practice. If it can be said that Guyton's minimalistic 'paintings,' which connect directly to the history of abstraction, conjure a restructuring of modernist art and design, Wade Guyton: WG3031 offers a mise en abyme of these procedures. This book is published in a limited edition of 700 copies."--http://www.artbook.com/9783037644195.html
