Varnedoe, Kirk. High & Low, Modern Art and Popular Culture. First Edition. 1990. Softcover. Book is in very good condition—there is a trace of fraying to the edges. Co-written with Adam Gopnik.
This was the book for a landmark exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, which sought to liberate modern art from “a thorny crown of ideas” and incorporate it into the material world. Filled with images and examples, it is a dialogue between the high art of Picasso and Seurat and the low art of everyday living. It was written by one of the late Twentieth Century art world’s most influential members, Kirk Varnedoe, was then MOMA’s curator for paintings and sculpture.
