Seth Price: Knots

by Seth Price (Artist)

The Gordian knots of Seth an artist's book from the herald of post-Internet art This lavish picture-book surveys Seth Price’s (born 1973) 2009–13 series of Knot Paintings , in which Price unites his signature vacuum-forming technique―an industrial plastic packaging process― with a refined group of painterly techniques that include acrylic and oil, spray paint, screen printing, poured resins and patterned fabrics. Museum Brandhorst director Achim Hochdörfer has “Each Knot Painting introduces a fresh set of drawing and print techniques are integrated, slits are made in the surface, new ways of applying paint are tested. Painting becomes a node in a network of media-related and societal references.”

Price developed the book’s concept and materials in close collaboration with designer Joseph Logan, yielding an artist's book in which the layout moves from extreme close-up to full views of these rich surfaces, while plastics and metal in the book's binding reflect the materiality of the works.
