Richard Meier: Timepieces: 50 Years of Collage

Richard Meier: Timepieces gives a thorough overview of the Pritzker Prize-winning architect's five-decade-long involvement with his own art making practice of collage. Like his architecture Meier's collages are clean and methodical on the surface, the images delineated by an unchanging grid. Within the grid, images range from the erotic to painterly illustration, referencing popular culture, art history and Meier himself. Often the collages are deeply personal and autobiographical, using everyday collected objects such as theater and travel tickets, as well as intimate photographs. The publication is fully illustrated in color, featuring rare documentary images showing Meier's lifelong involvement with the arts. Judd Tully and Richard Meier have both contributed texts to what is the definitive volume on this private aspect of Richard Meier's creative practice.
