Living Histories: Queer Views and Old Masters
Living Histories: Queer Views and Old Masters
A new and stimulating way of looking at Old Master paintings, juxtaposing 4 newly commissioned works with iconic works in the Frick's collection.
Living Histories: Queer Views and Old Masters is an exciting volume featuring the work of four New York based artists, each presenting a single new work in conversation with celebrated paintings in The Frick Collection. Placing particular emphasis on issues of gender and queer identity, the works bring to the fore narratives that are typically excluded from early modern European art.
The idea of commissioning four new works to display at Frick Madison emerged when four masterpieces from the collection by Vermeer, Holbein and Rembrandt were loaned to exhibitions. Works by Jenna Gribbon, Doron Langberg, Toyin Ojih Odutola and Salman Toor were commissioned to replace them alongside other works by these artists. This book is the result of the four New York artists' responses to the Frick's collection, and the important conversations their work engendered.
“This work should be included in any art library. . . . The book’s grounding as not just about four Queer artists’ works, but as a larger discussion of portraiture and art history, allows this book to be helpful in a variety of classes or projects.”—Art Libraries Society of North America, (ARLIS/NA)
