This volume provides an overview of his paintings of the past years and introduces his most recent and previously unpublished works of art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eJochen Plogsties\u003c\/em\u003e (born 1974) paints reproductions of existing reproductions of well‐known works of art. He works from a variety of materials including catalogue illustrations of art‐historical masterpieces, record covers and magazine covers, as well as key works of contemporary photography. His \"retranslations\" of reproductions of works of art into new paintings de‐familiarise the well‐known original and confound entrenched modes of looking at art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHe plays with changes of size and scale and explodes the precision of the original work of art with his coarsening painting style. He simultaneously calls into question a reality shaped by various media that causes us to believe that we have already seen everything that is worth seeing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47471037513964,"sku":"9783777423579","price":60.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9783777423579-jochen-plogsties.jpg?v=1775231007","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/jochen-plogsties-9783777423579","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
