Appearing like a catalogue of carpet or wallpaper samples, Black Cat is an inventory of glitter and a sparkling extravaganza on art and its history; a table-top book version of Armleder's signature cycle of glitter-paint veil paintings with tongue-in-cheek tributes to Morris Louis and the legacy of Abstract Expressionism.
This book is an homage to the appeal of sparkles, the power of glitter and glamour, and a wink to the heavens above, which Armleder has been closer to than most.
Please note that images do not represent the true holographic effects due to the complicated nature of photographing glitters.
