The definitive monograph on the work of one of the most prolific, versatile, and exciting artists of the last three decades Over the past 30 years, Swiss-born, New York-based artist Ugo Rondinone has developed a distinct body of work: vibrant paintings, immersive installations, sculptures, and text-based works, all united by a poetic quality and an enduring preoccupation with such universal themes as time and cosmic cycles. Profoundly interested in the contemplation of everyday life, Rondinone reconciles the visual language of psychedelia and advertising with meditative, intimate reflections on personal and collective experiences. This book brings fresh perspective to his remarkable life and career and is a must-have for his huge global following.

Presents the work of 17 contemporary painters whose works reflect a singular approach that is peculiarly of our time: they are a-temporal, a term coined by William Gibson and Bruce Sterling, the originators of the cyberpunk aesthetic.

Each volume in this new series offers an in-depth exploration of one major work in MoMA¿s collection. Through a lively illustrated essay by a MoMA curator that examines the work in detail, the publication delves into aspects of the artist¿s oeuvre and places the work in a broader social and arthistorical context.
