HEDERIKSE - Pola, Francesca: — Jan Henderikse: Mint

07 2019, 25,1 x 28,9 cm), 112 pp. English text, numerous colour ills., hardcover. The work of one of the key players in European art after 1960. Dutch artist Jan Henderikse is a pivotal figure in 20th-century art: since the 1950s, his work has developed beyond the traditional notions of painting and sculpture, to redefine the coordinates of artistic imagery. First, by neutralizing the surface into the monochrome; then, since 1959, by employing unconventional materials and techniques in “allover” compositions that mark his distinctive language. Francesca Pola is a contemporary art historian, critic and curator. Since 2003 she has been Professor of History of Contemporary Art at Institute for the International Education of Students in Chicago (Milan office).
