About This Item
Hanover: Hood Museum of Art, 1989. First edition. Cloth. Very good +/very good. Quarto (9" x 12"), green cloth with white title in jacket depicting one of the works. 86pp. with checklist of the exhibition, biography, bibliography, and photo credits. Illustrated in color and black and white. A 1/2 inch tear at the top of the jacket has been repaired with archival document tape. A little wear at the extremities, but a lovely copy. Boghosian, (1926-2020), constucted his works from found objects. "Building upon the traditions of Surrealism and Dada Boghosian's assemblages and collages playfully contemplate the boundaries between dream and reality. In creating his art, Boghosian draws heavily on his extensive personal archive of found objects, gathered together in his home and studio. The images and objects that he utilizes often bear the mark of time and his creations frequently juxtapose groups of seemingly unrelated objects together. In describing his artistic process, Boghosian is quoted as saying "I don't make anything. I find everything.".
