Shara Hughes Early Art 2005 New American Paintings #58 Rare Artist Catalog

$48 · Offered by eBay

Rare out of print New American Paintings No. 58 – 2005 Southern Competition, featuring an early published appearance by acclaimed contemporary artist Shara Hughes. This issue presents Hughes years before the major international recognition her work would later receive. Her dedicated section includes three full-page reproductions of early paintings — “Leaky Toilet,” “Fur the Living Room,” and “Legal Guardians” — along with her artist biography, exhibition history, awards, collections and original artist statement. The artwork is beautifully reproduced on the publication's heavy, thick glossy stock, giving the images a substantial, high-quality presentation that is much nicer in person than ordinary magazine printing. An especially interesting early-career document for collectors of Shara Hughes, contemporary painting, artist ephemera, exhibition catalogs and New American Paintings.
