PROVENANCE Theoretical Events, Naples
EXHIBITED Naples, Theoretical Events, Jack Pierson, 1995
"Pierson's aesthetic and psychological exploration of aspects of fame, despair, solitude, itinerancy, and the existential creates an ongoing visual diary of contemporary life. His works evoke various states of mind, responses to and impressions of the physical world, and memories of lost time – both personal and universal… One of the most inventive and evocative artists of his generation, Pierson also exemplifies an important shift in recent art toward the celebration and visualization of various aspects of the personal and human condition at the beginning of the twenty-first century." (Richard D. Marshall, Jack Pierson: Desire Despair, New York, 2006, p. 15)
Please note: The letter "I" is illustrated backwards, and the correct installed dimensions are 17 x 43 x 4 1/2 in. (43.2 x 109.2 x 11.4 cm).
