Contemporary artist Rudolf Stingel's mesmerizing exploration of self-portraiture also marks his first foray into the world of color. For decades Rudolf Stingel has been investigating the definition of painting and the nature of memory. In this stunning catalog to a new exhibit, Stingel begins with an early photograph of himself and offers up a series of reinterpretations that riff on nostalgia, realism, and repetition. The book also presents a series
of silver "carpet paintings" that reveal delicate, ghostly images, and a collection of gold paintings in high, almost sculptural, relief, which the artist resurrected from his studio after years of neglect. Stingel concludes his exploration with another portrait that recalls the initial photograph; this one in dazzling color that
grabs the viewer’s attention like waking from a dream. Together these paintings narrate a journey from past to present, from memory to reality, and from muted tones to vibrant hues.
Rudolf Stingel Francesco Bonami Books
This book is edited in 2007, what means that here you will not find his most famous installation at Venice Palazzo Grassi (2013) or the images of his stunning show at Gagosian NY (March of 2014). Though it's a wonderful volume of his previous works: abstract paintings and silver plate installations, and also his famous portrait of Paula Cooper and black and white hyper-realistic self-portraits. Overall, it's a wonderful introduction to his early works, with beautiful plates and interesting essays.Product details

Rudolf Stingel Francesco Bonami Books Reviews
I really wasn't that impressed with all of the collection of work in this book. It left me wanting; but then maybe that was the intention of the artist.
Rudolf Stingel has a rare combination of intelligence and technical mastery. This book showcases his work since the mid-80's in all of its versatile forms - from somewhat mechanical pattern-paintings to detailed self-portraits that look like grainy photographs at first glance. The book itself is beautifully presented with nice plates and sharp essays. The essays could be expanded and are a bit opaque in places, but this is a refreshing change from typical essays in monographs which tend to be overly descriptive or comparative and completely lacking in argument. This is a great book all around.
