Charles Ray: Figure Ground

This career-spanning publication features conceptual, political, formal, and technical perspectives on the work of contemporary sculptor Charles Ray

For Charles Ray (born 1953), sculpture is a way of thinking that informs his work across a wide range of mediafrom gelatin silver prints to porcelain, fiberglass, wood, and steel. Charles Ray: Figure Ground spans the whole of the artists fifty-year career, from his early photographs and performances through his intriguing, often unsettling sculptures, some of which are published here for the first time.
 
The essays foreground Rays engagement with preexisting traditions, as well as charged issues around race, gender, and sexuality (notably expressed through his explorations of Mark Twains 1884 novel Adventures of Huckleberry Finn) and investigate the modalities of touch that run through his work. In addition, a reflection by Ray himself and a conversation between the artist and Hal Foster offer further insights into his multifaceted practice.
