Peter Downsbrough's Books

Preface by James Welling. Interview by Marie Therese Champesme.

A sequel to or continuation of Peter Downsbrough: The Books(s) (an annotated overview of all 85 books published since 1968 by and on the New Jersey-born artist Peter Downsbrough), The Book(s) Addendum provides an update with 15 newly released titles.

Like his contemporaries Lawrence Weiner, Robert Barry and Sol LeWitt, American Conceptualist Peter Downsbrough (born 1940) combines a fondness for geometric art and typography with the possibilities of the artist's book. Since the late 1960s he has worked across media (video, film and photography), but the artist's book has proved an enduring format, a place in which to incorporate other projects and compose with text, line drawings, maps and photographs. In 1993 the publisher, book collector and curator Guy Schraenen wrote of his work: "One might call it the absolute zero of the book, since it presents itself in the simplest form." This catalogue provides a comprehensive overview of the 85 artist's books that Downsbrough has published from 1972 to the present, including such classics of Conceptualist book art as And, A Place--New York, Beside, Notes on Location 2 and Two Pipes Fourteen Locations.

This book provides, for the first time, a profound insight into Peter Downsbrough's diverse and complex use of photography within his artistic work over the last 40 years.

Morality plays were the main form of theatre in England between about 1400 and 1600. They usually portrayed a representative Christian figure locked in spiritual conflict. They have recently been revived as early examples of living theatre.

Peter Walker's work is an encounter with the impossible. Haunting objects are crafted so compellingly as to appear as if they have grown out of nature in complex and impossible ways.
