Sterling Ruby: Vivids

Documenting Sterling Rubyâ€™s first exhibition with Gagosian Gallery, this catalog includes beautiful colored reproductions of the artistâ€™s newest suite of spray paintings, VIVIDS, electric color fields representing the artistâ€™s ruminations on the shifting, multihued Los Angeles skies that he encounters en route to his studio. Additional color photographs of Rubyâ€™s workspace, as well as installation shots of the aforementioned exhibit, appear throughout the book documenting the creative process.Â Â
Accompanying it all is new text from art historian Eugene Wang that situates Rubyâ€™s work within the landscape of twenty-first-century art, while also acknowledging the debt it owes to such midcentury modernists as Barnett Newman and Andy Warhol. Wang deftly places Rubyâ€™s VIVIDS in their proper context, temporally, geographically, and sociopolitically.
