Collector's Close-Up:
Up for auction is a highly sought-after masterpiece of contemporary art publishing: "Michaël Borremans: As Sweet as It Gets."
Published in 2014 by Hatje Cantz on the occasion of a major mid-career retrospective, this monograph was famously described by Borremans himself as “the mother of all Borremans books.”
Now long out of print, this massive, beautifully produced hardcover volume is the most comprehensive overview of the Belgian master’s oeuvre ever published.
It spans 14 years of his career, showcasing over 100 meticulously selected works across painting, drawing, sculpture, and film—including many rare pieces never previously reproduced in any book or catalogue. Features nearly 200 high-quality color illustrations capturing the uncanny, disquieting, and hauntingly beautiful technical mastery that defines Borremans' work.
Includes a revealing, deeply personal interview between the artist and curator Jeffrey Grove, exploring his creative process, philosophy, and historical influences.
Renowned Contributors: Features over 50 individual essays and entries on specific works written by an incredible lineup of curators, filmmakers, and artists—including a contribution by visionary director David Lynch.
