Gus Van Sant: Paintings

OMG The first ever published monograph on Gus Van Sant’s paintings brings together a wide overview of his works! Sequenced in an achronological associative manner, the book presents different series vis-à-vis, focusing on recurring motifs and themes throughout different mediums, across his entire body of work.

The book includes an essay by RISD professor Dennis Congdon, and a new interview with Van Sant conducted by Leah Gudmundson, offering a personal window into his practice. The result feels like an intimate project that offers a fuller view of Gus Van Sant’s visual world beyond film. [publishers’ note]
