Described by \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e as a \"painter and punk propagandist,\" Flood has, despite remaining barely visible at the museum level, maintained an active and influential career for decades in painting and, increasingly, exhibition practice, producing work characterized by deep wisdom and trenchant humor. With \u003ci\u003eGratest Hits\u003c\/i\u003e, Flood--an artist so absolute in his judgments that one 2012 painting featured the words \"Whore Museums, Gutless Collectors, Blind Dealers, So-Called Artists\" emblazoned on it--finally gets the monographic museum treatment in his hometown, and a career-spanning catalogue to boot. This fully illustrated, full-color volume features texts by Carlo McCormick, Alison Gingeras, El Topito, Scott Indrisek and Bill Arning, the exhibition's curator and director of the Contemporary Arts Museum, Houston.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 208\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 10.9 x 8.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 23, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51769959448864,"sku":"9781933619590","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/f61fdf61ac05e0992fc591ad77f93b96.webp?v=1780360984","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/mark-flood-gratest-hits-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
