Brown is famed for referencing both the giants of Western painting and facets of popular culture, wrestling each from their assigned contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis volume provides an in-depth look at one of her most conceptually rich paintings yet. The titular work, The Triumph of Death, is colossal, spanning multiple panels, and conveys the figure of Death riding roughshod over a town and its residents. Inspired by a 1446 fresco housed in the Palazzo Abatellis in Palermo, Italy, Brown’s momentous piece testifies to her ongoing fascination with death. With an introduction by Sylvain Bellenger and newly commissioned texts―as well as a set of related, previously unseen drawings―the book offers comprehensive analysis on this extraordinary work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[publisher's note]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEdited with text by Gavin Delahunty.
