History & Criticism

James Cohan Gallery

Since the early 1990s, Fred Tomaselli's work has critiqued utopias and dystopias, and has examined the sublime in suburban American culture. His colorful works are instantly recognizable due to his use of pharmaceuticals and illicit drugs to create his elaborate paintings This survey of Tomaselli's career includes an essay by the American novelist Rick Moody, author of The Ice Storm and Demonology.

Art at the Edge of the Law examines the fine line that artists have often trod between the legal and the legally ambiguous. Frequently the transgression is conceptual rather than directly confrontational, as in Richard Prince's copyright infringements or Gregory Green's pirate station, though no less powerful for that (Barton Lidice Benes's assemblages involving his own HIV-infected blood, for example). Among the artists included are Janine Antoni, Gregory Green, Dennis Oppenheim, Richard Prince, Tom Sachs, Fred Tomaselli and Tom Friedman.

In this brilliant time capsule of recent world events, celebrated artist Fred Tomaselli intrepidly and colorfully reimagines the front pages of the New York Times. Hurricane Katrina’s devastation of New Orleans, the international financial crisis, the Berlusconi scandal, an earthquake in Haiti, the tsunami in Japan, revolution at home and abroad―the headlines of the past decade have been a true roller-coaster ride. Self-proclaimed news junkie Fred Tomaselli has been responding to these earth-shattering events through a fascinating series of artworks collected here for the first time. Tomaselli superimposes his signature psychedelic aesthetic on the front page of the New York Times, setting up a striking contrast between the paper’s sober depictions of reality and his vivid interventions. Readers will delight in comparing the actual headlines, captions, and articles that surround the images with Tomaselli’s trippy, highly detailed interpretations. Filled with gorgeous reproductions of works that range from tongue in-cheek satire to unmitigated outrage, this timely volume is certain to appeal to art lovers as well as street-smart consumers of today’s headline news.
