{"product_id":"9783803032065","title":"Hannah Dougherty: the Gartenhaus Project and Recent Works 2005\/2006","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Berlin-based American artist Hannah Dougherty's strong, evocative paintings, collages and installations are characterized by a dreamy, mythological feel, as much from her distinctive palette as from her retro, hybrid figures, which take their inspiration from children's book illustrations, comic strips and 1950s advertisements, with a little bit of Dürer and old school \u003ci\u003eEncyclopedia Brittanica\u003c\/i\u003e thrown in. In her recent Berlin installation, \u003ci\u003eThe Gartenhaus Project\u003c\/i\u003e, Dougherty glued handwritten notes and scraps of paper like a 1939 Berlin butcher's bill and a Japanese train schedule to her paintings, mostly upside-down, so that they functioned as barely legible memorabilia. She also created a kind of \"theater set\" representation of an Arcadian suburb, complete with dramatic twilight-evoking spotlights, kitschy prefabricated garden houses, pots of artificial flowers, stuffed fox and deer, and prop-like, anthropomorphized wooden birdhouses—much more sinister than jolly, like dark little garden gnomes. This volume documents \u003ci\u003eThe Gartenhaus Project\u003c\/i\u003e in full.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wasmuth, Ernst J.
