Riassunto

This is the first-ever book to reproduce the entirety of ADSILA, the floral sketchbook of artists EVA & ADELE. Accompanied by a text by Gertrude Stein, the unique drawings of flowers by the pair are reproduced in the closest possible adherence to the original artists’ book in which they first appeared. The drawings, which are executed with a small number of unfalteringly precise graphite lines, continually surprise viewers with the radical aesthetics of their deceptively simple abstraction. Already the subject of numerous solo exhibitions in cities ranging from New York to Helsinki, the work of this always smiling artist duo is as groundbreaking as it is unforgettableand this volume makes it widely available in book form, beautifully, for the first time.

Product Description:

This book features sketches of poetic and absolute power that are as extraordinary as their creators. This is the first-ever publication of the entirety of EVA & ADELE's floral sketchbook. The drawings of flowers, which are uncompromising and executed in a small number of unfalteringly precise graphite lines, surprise the viewer with the radical aesthetics of their abstraction. Accompanied by a Gertrude Stein text, the unique sketches of flowers by EVA & ADELE are reproduced in this book-lovers treasure trove in close adherence to the original artists book. Based on photographs of the flowers in the artists studio, they in turn are the basis of the highest level of the monumental palimpsest compositions of the group of works entitled ADSILA. The lifelong performance of the always smiling, internationally successful artist-duo is one of the most radical pieces of c ontemporary art. Their work has already been exhibited in numerous solo shows from New York to Helsinki, and it has been acquired by the most important collections in the world, including the Tate Gallery in London and the Musee d'Art Moderne de la Ville d e Paris.
