Seth Price

Although best known for his influential work in sculpture, video, and writing, Seth Price has always made drawings and maquettes as a way to explore ideas developed in his other bodies of work. This book documents a group of these rarely seen works selected by curator Achim Hochdorfer for exhibition at Petzel East, New York. Spanning more than fifteen years, the art here encompasses media and materials that range from watercolor, airbrush and spray-paint, to collage and fabric. Examples include drawings of Depression-era landscapes, acetate and enamel maquettes, graffiti-marker paintings on shrink-wrapped palettes and research notes for an apocalyptic, Evangelical sci-fi novel. Price has made annotations throughout the book, recounting the context in which these works were made.
