This exhibition catalogue documents Douglas Crimp’s curatorial project Pictures at Artists Space in New York, featuring works by Troy Brauntuch, Jack Goldstein, Sherrie Levine, Robert Longo, and Philip Smith. The American art historian and critic examines the changing status of the image in the age of the pictorial turn, when representation comes to function as an autonomous element within the artwork.


 


Crimp traces this shift through the work of five very different conceptual artists: Troy Brauntuch’s prints; Jack Goldstein’s phonograph records, short films, and photographs; Sherrie Levine’s serial profiles executed in fluorescent paint on graph paper; Robert Longo’s enamel-painted cast-aluminium reliefs; and Philip Smith’s large pastel-chalk vignettes. Across these diverse media, the exhibition reconsiders the ways in which images are produced, mediated, repeated, and detached from conventional modes of representation.


 


The publication features an extended curatorial essay in which Crimp explores the plural and uncanny manifestations of picture-making in contemporary art.
