Mernet Larsen is the first monograph published on an American painter who has recently been rediscovered by the art world as a significant voice in the “extensive, possibly global conversation about how to portray modern, three-dimensional life on two-dimensional surfaces” (Roberta Smith, The New York Times). Larsen’s paintings are a complete world and, in that regard, belong to the tradition that includes Giorgio de Chirico and René Magritte. These worlds “reach toward” ours, even as they pull us in. Larsen’s paintings are abstracted figurations with Japanese-inspired perspective; tracing-paper cutouts are used all across the canvas, giving her works a constructed appeal. Their subjects include classrooms, coffee shops, vacation spots and malls--gathering places--as well as parodies of religious events such as the Resurrection. This monograph gives a full analysis of Larsen’s work of the past 30 years, with a focus on her oeuvre since 2000.

Neuware -Über sechs Jahrzehnte hinweg hat Mernet Larsen (\*1940) die Perspektive in ihren Gemälden spielerisch manipuliert, um uns beunruhigende wie humorvolle Erzählungen zu enthu llen, denen ganz gewöhnliche Alltagssituationen zugrunde liegen. 'Die Themen und Szenarien, die sie darstellt, sind in der Regel banal: Freunde, die sich im Gespräch versammelt haben, ein Paar, das im Bett liest, und Treffen der Fakultäten. Durch unerwartete kompositorische Bewegungen verwandelt sie diese prosaischen Momente jedoch in psychologische Dramen, die auf die Verwerfungen, Störungen und Ängste, die unser Leben fu llen, hinweisen', so Kuratorin Veronica Roberts.Die umfassende, reich bebilderte Monografie enthält Kunstwerke aus allen Schaffensphasen, ein Interview mit der Ku nstlerin und Hans Ulrich Obrist sowie Essays von Susan Thompson und Veronica Roberts. 188 pp. Englisch
