Palermo: Works on Paper 1976–1977

Although it has been linked with distinct twentieth-century art practices—including abstraction, minimalism, and conceptual art—BLINKY PALERMO’s diverse body of work defies easy classification. 

Throughout his brief and influential career, Palermo executed paintings, objects, installations, and works on paper that addressed the contextual and semantic issues at stake in the construction, exhibition and reception of works of art. This publication focuses in depth on the artist’s works on paper from 1976–1977, executed just prior to his untimely death in February 1977. 

This fully illustrated catalogue is the first to comprehensively address this facet of Palermo’s practice and includes new scholarship by Christine Mehring and Christoph Schreier.
