Erro (2017)
The first major English-language monograph on Icelandic Pop artist Erró establishes his primacy among today’s significant figurative artists. Erró, Iceland’s most prominent painter, receives long overdue critical attention for his contributions to international Pop, late Surrealism, and contemporary figurative painting in this sumptuous monograph. Since introducing exclusively source-image-based painted collage to the European Pop movement in 1959, Erró has produced an influential body of work mining cartoons and art history on canvases marked by political satire and his own cheerfully dystopian observations of human nature. Prescient and timely, Erró’s paintings are marked by a voracious consumption of imagery synthesizing a hallucinatory vision of contemporary visual culture. Often compared to Andy Warhol, James Rosenquist, and Roy Lichtenstein, Erró’s multifigure narratives, refusal to commit to a singular style, and obsession with cartoons set his practice apart. An essay by Ruba Katrib connects Erró to today’s figurative-painting practices, and a chronology by Danielle Kvaran traces his wild figurations of history and subjects, ranging from Winston Churchill to contemporary music icons. Newly photographed details and a concentration on Erró’s canvases of the last ten years offer a fresh perspective to his European audience and a welcome introduction for his American one.

dessins 1948-2008: Before, now and after (2010)
Cet ouvrage manquait : il est le premier à envisager systématiquement la production graphique d’Erro depuis ses débuts. Une telle approche, paradoxalement inédite à ce jour, aurait dû être réalisée depuis longtemps lorsqu’on connaît la dimension graphique omniprésente dans son oeuvre. Le goût d’Erró pour le dessin se manifeste dès l’enfance, sous l’influence du peintre islandais Kjarval qui installe son atelier d’été aux abords de la ferme familiale à Kirkjubæjarklaustur, dans le sud de l’Islande, à partir de 1942. Il se développe d’abord à l’École des Beaux-arts de Reykjavik, où, entre 1949 et 1951, il prépare un diplôme de professeur de dessin puis à l’Académie nationale des Beaux-arts d’Oslo, à l’Académie des Beaux-arts de Florence et à l’Ecole de mosaïque de Ravenne. Il s’affirme sous diverses formes à chacune des étapes de la carrière de l’artiste. A vocation rétrospective, l’ouvrage présente plus de 200 dessins sélectionnés par Erró sur quarante ans de pratique artistique : dessins d’observation ou d’imagination, dessins préparatoires à des fresques, mosaïques et peintures ou bien dessins indépendants, associés parfois à des éléments photographiques découpés dans la presse, puis de 1964 à aujourd’hui, dessins de report de collages préliminaires, étapes initiales dans la réalisation de peintures, aquarelles ou sérigraphies.

Private Utopia (2017)
Legendary Icelandic artist Erró (born 1932) developed a style that oscillates between Surrealism and Pop, exploring themes around technology and contemporary politics. This volume assembles paintings and prints that depict his wild cosmos of imaginings.
