Vivian Suter: Bonzo, Tintin & Nina

This comprehensive monograph on Vivian Suter (b. Buenos Aires 1949) ventures a look at her complete works, bringing together early drawings, painterly wall reliefs from the 1980s, and her latest work from her studio in the tropical rainforest of Guatemala: loose canvases hanging lightly from the ceiling in atmospherically dense installations. The richly illustrated catalog illuminates the interplay between unpredictable natural influences as the paintings are left outside open to the elements and purposeful artistic work in Suter’s practice. With a Japanese binding and fold-out cover, this book is a visual as well as tactile delight, evoking the sensual appeal of free-hanging intensely colored canvases.
