Description
Swiss painter Niele Toroni has been challenging accepted notions of authorship in his work since 1966. This English-language publication about him documents his groundbreaking exhibition at Swiss Institute in New York, featuring paint imprints of a number 50 brush applied at regular intervals of 12 inches. The book includes an essay by Joachim Pissarro and Annie Wischmeyer exploring the implications of Toroni's metonymic interventions, as well as letters from the artist revealing his thinking on his practice. This publication provides retrospective context through seminal essays, archival materials, event transcripts, artist portfolios, and exhibition documentation. Published with Swiss Institute and Karma, New York, this book offers a unique insight into Toroni's pioneering work and its place in art history.
