{"product_id":"9783960981541","title":"Academy of Tal R","description":"Joyously chromatic and brimming with reckless vitality, the paintings, drawings and collages of Danish artist Tal R (born 1967) are anything but academic—hence the ironic title of this overview, which surveys works from the past 20 years of his vast output as well as a series of new works. Tal R has been a storyteller from the outset of his career in the 1990s, always hovering between figuration and abstraction with a special eye for the overlooked, hidden and repressed spaces of modern life. I do painting a bit like people make a lunch box,” he once declared. “I constantly have this hot-pot boiling and I throw all kinds of material into it. While the artist is well-known as a prolific publisher of artist’s books (usually gathering specific bodies of work), \u003ci\u003eAcademy of Tal R\u003c\/i\u003e is the most substantial overview of his diverse practice yet published.","brand":"Koenig Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47051838226672,"sku":"9783960981541","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783960981541_p0.jpg?v=1763711776","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783960981541","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
