About the Item

Jennifer Losch Bartlett Rhapsody (hand signed and inscribed), 1985 Hardback monograph with dust jacket (hand signed and inscribed to Nadine) Hand signed and inscribed in black marker "for Nadine" by Jennifer Bartlett on the half title page 12 × 12 × 1 inches Provenance signed for the present owner at Paula Cooper Gallery on January 21, 2016 This substantial, lavishly illustrated hardback monograph with dust jacket, was hand signed by Jennifer Bartlett for the present owner at Paula Cooper Gallery on January 21, 2016. Makes an excellent gift Book information: Publisher‏: ‎ Harry N Abrams (November 1, 1985) English; Hardcover; 108 pages with color illustrations Editorial Review: Rhapsody'' is Bartlett's multi-part, multi-theme epic, a statement of the coming of age of an artist. A portable mural extended over 987 one-foot steel plates requiring 153 running feet of wall space, it is an enormous and infrequently mastered challenge to install and exhibit. In 1985-86, however, it will be on view in Minneapolis, Kansas City, Brooklyn, La Jolla, and Pittsburgh, and well worth a trip. In book form it becomes more available, with Smith's guided tour through sections, with Bartlett's notes giving conceptual coherence, and the opportunity to move from close-up to long view by turning a page. Rhapsody'' and this book afford a glimpse of a mind and art in action, a discovering and ordering process, an exciting demonstration of ways of growing and expressing the self and the world. Highly recommended. About Jennifer Bartlett: By the mid-1970s, Jennifer Bartlett (1941-2022, b. Long Beach, California) had emerged as a leading American artist of her time—particularly following the landmark presentation at Paula Cooper Gallery of Rhapsody (1976), Bartlett’s magnum opus, now in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York. Bartlett’s first survey exhibition was held in 1985 at the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, and traveled to the Brooklyn Museum, New York, and the Carnegie Museum of Art, Philadelphia, among others. In 2006, the Addison Gallery of American Art surveyed Bartlett’s early enameled steel plate paintings in the period from 1968–76. In 2013-14, Klaus Ottmann curated her second traveling survey, which visited the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and the Parrish Art Museum, New York. In 2014, the Cleveland Museum of Art united her three monumental plate pieces in the exhibition “Epic Systems.” Bartlett’s works can be found in numerous public collections including the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, DC; the Israel Museum, Jerusalem; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Naoshima Museum, Japan; the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Tate Gallery, UK; and the Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven. - Courtesy of Paula Cooper Gallery
