Publisher: Copper Canyon Press
Measurements: 9x11 in
Condition: New
Format: Hardcover
Before the Borderless was inspired from a poem written by Dean Rader after a visit to the Gagosian Gallery in New York to see a retrospective of Cy Twombly’s work, In Beauty It is Finished: Drawings 1951-2008. The poem is infused with themes from loss and fear to regret and beauty which fueled the foundation and emotional expressions this book epitomizes.
Rader uncovers the movements and spirit in Twombly’s drawings and paintings. He stretches beyond study and admiration by describing Twombly’s endless scrawls as “saddle stitch, spaghetti curl, white whirl.”
Rader’s poems are paired with 50 color images of Twombly’s paintings and drawings, as the separation between looking and reading becomes one. Through each pairing, Before the Borderless suggests infinite questions about art and its power to heal.
