Tom Wesselmann: The Great American Nude is the first comprehensive publication dedicated to the artist’s most famous body of work, made between 1961 and 1973.
Edited by Susan Davidson, the monograph is the first comprehensive publication dedicated to Wesselmann’s most famous body of work, the Great American Nudes (1961–73), which combines sensual depictions of the female figure with references to art history and popular culture. The book will include full-color reproductions of each artwork in the series (totaling one hundred numbered works, plus proofs, and all color variations for editioned works), as well as related drawings, studies, and relevant works from associated series.
Tom Wesselmann (1931–2004) was one of the leading American Pop artists of the 1960s. Departing from Abstract Expressionism, he went on to explore classical representations of the nude, still life, and landscape, while incorporating everyday objects and advertising ephemera.
