DAVID IRELAND
Sculptures Paintings Drawings
“You can’t make art by making art” has been a guiding principle in the work of David Ireland. The influential West Coast conceptual and installation artist (born 1930) has had over 40 solo exhibitions, primarily in the United States. This slim catalogue accompanies Ireland’s first-ever solo exhibition in the United Kingdom at Karsten Schubert’s Gallery in London (2008). “Ideally my work has a visual presence that makes it seem like part of a usual, everyday situation,” says the artist. “I like the feeling that nothing’s been designed, that you can’t tell where the art stops and starts.” Includes an essay by Kenneth Baker and 13 color illustrations.

JASON JÄGEL
Seventy-Three Funshine
This delightful, large-format monograph by contemporary artist Jason Jägel features over 200 images from Jägel’s career, spanning childhood sketches and family snapshots, but largely focusing on his current practice, his sometimes-loose, sometimes-tight narrative paintings and works on paper. Hip-hop influences, family life, and the humming buzz of the street are often found in a single work. Jägel’s work has been increasingly influenced by the music he listens to; this connection has been strengthened by his record cover designs for the LA-based hiphop label Stones Throw. One of Stones Throw’s major artists, Madlib, has three tracks that appear on a companion 10-inch vinyl record, an unexpected feature included in this artists’ book.
