This is the catalogue/catalogue-like monograph produced for Luc Tuymans’s first large-scale American survey (2009–2011), collecting approximately ~75 key works spanning roughly 1978 to the present (as of publication) and featuring original critical essays that analyze Tuymans’s artistic concerns, methods, and historical context. It presents images of works and several interpretive essays by curators and critics. The volume was produced in conjunction with Tuymans’s US survey exhibition organized by SFMOMA and the Wexner Center for the Arts — it’s therefore both an exhibition catalogue and a critical monograph intended to introduce and contextualize Tuymans to U.S. audiences. Tuymans (b. 1958) is widely credited with playing a central role in the revival of painting in the 1990s; this publication is a substantial, museum-level treatment of his work up to the early 2010s. Retail and library records list these principal names connected to the book: Madeleine Grynsztejn (curator/organizer), Helen Molesworth (author of a major essay), plus contributions from Joseph Leo Koerner and Ralph Rugoff. Different vendor pages and library records repeat this line-up. Publication date: 2013 (lists specifically March 31, 2013 on several retail records). Format: Trade paperback (softcover). Pages / length: 228 pages. ISBN-10 / ISBN-13: 0918471826 / 978-0918471826.
