{"product_id":"9783753304571","title":"Christopher Williams: Kölnische Dramaturgie","description":"\u003cb\u003eAuthor: Tom McDonough\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis latest book on the work of Williams explores the transparent theatricality of the modern art fair, inspired by Art Cologne 1967. Williams’ black-and-white photographs lead the viewer through clinical product shots from his Adapted for Use series paired with images of past art fairs, including the photographer’s own participation in a booth hosted by David Zwirner Gallery. The result is a stoic meditation of the object as commodity and the spaces in which these goods are purchased.This publication includes a feature essay by art historian Tom McDonough, who writes of Williams’ work: “trust in the transparency of the visual field [is] consistently and thoroughly undermined. The static set promised a totalized image and simultaneously withheld it, suspending the audience in an uncomfortable awareness of the lack inscribed in the pro-visual field.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN 9783753304571.
