JB Blunk

Fourth Edition

$70
$70

The fourth edition of Blunk Space’s best-selling monograph, featuring a new color cover and artwork. 

JB Blunk presents the breadth of the artist's practice and includes never-before-seen archival and newly commissioned photographs of jewelry, ceramics, paintings, furniture, sculpture, and his hand-built house. The book features essays by Lucy Lippard, Glenn Adamson, Fariba Bogzaran, Louise Allison Cort, and René Bustamante that contextualize Blunk among his contemporaries, his materials, and his places. Lippard connects Blunk's interdisciplinary practice with her own attempts at an archaeological, rather than linear, approach to art history and criticism. Cort and Bogzaran reconstruct the early relationships and experiences that influenced Blunk in Japan and in Northern California, respectively. An archival interview with Blunk from 1978 and a new interview with his longtime friend and studio assistant Rick Yoshimoto offer primary insight into Blunk's work and process, 40 years apart.
