Synopsis

The first comprehensive presentation of the work of Jack Pierson, who is known as one of the most inventive artists of his generation. Like Andy Warhol before him, Jack Pierson expresses himself through a variety of media. Drawn to stardom, melodrama, lonliness and emotional narrative as subjects for his art. Pierson infuses his work with literal and visual references to lost love, sexual longing, faded glamour, fleeting moments and sentimental musings. This book will contain approximately 200 works that echo the prevalent themes in Pierson's work. A subversive playfulness and an erotic undercurrent run throughout, especially in the photographs of men, including never-before-published celebrity portraits. Surveying more than twenty years of the artist's career, this volume marks a milestone for all fans of Peirson's art.
