Janet Malcom: Free Association by Malcom, Janet; Hilton Als - 2011

New York: Lori Bookstein Fine Art, 2011. Pamphlet. First edition. NEW pamphlet. SHIPS THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY, WRAPPED IN PADDING AND CARDBOARD. The catalogue for an exhibition of collages made by the journalist Janet Malcolm. "The collages began to form in the artist's mind when the papers of a psychiatrist who practiced in New York in the late 1940's and 1950's came into her possession. The extracts from case studies appear in combination with fragments from early 20th century medical, surgical, astronomical and technological texts, as well as appropriations from contemporary art, giving these works the atmosphere of dreams in which vaguely and somewhat disturbingly familiar times and places are evoked." Essay by Hilton Als; statement by Janet Malcolm. Staple-bound self-wrapper; 12 pages; 8 full-page color reproductions; 6 x 8.5 inches.
