Ken Price: Slow and Steady Wins the Race

Works on Paper 1962-2010

Text by Douglas Dreishpoon.

Ken Price: Slow and Steady Wins the RaceThis publication accompanies the first survey of drawings by Los Angeles artist Ken Price (1935–2013), best known for his abstract, brightly colored ceramic sculptures. Price’s work was only widely exhibited later in his life, but scholars have long admired his highly original forms. As early as 1966, Lucy Lippard commented: “No one else on the East or West Coast is working like Kenneth Price.” Like his better-known sculptures, these drawings feature an idiosyncratic array of amorphous shapes. The book includes an in-depth 44-page illustrated essay by exhibition curator Douglas Dreishpoon, a 20-page section detailing a rarely seen large-scale scroll drawing from 1962, and color plates of all of the nearly 70 works in the exhibition, tracking the evolution of Price’s drawings over 48 years and demonstrating a wide range of characters and techniques.

Featured image, "The Hermit’s Cave" (2008; acrylic and ink on paper), is reproduced from Ken Price: Slow and Steady Wins the Race.

While the Met show focuses on Price's objects, the Drawing Center's survey (which travels to the Albright Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, NY, and then the Harwood Museum in Taos, New Mexico, through May of 2014) presents works on paper from 1962-2010. Featured image, the 1970 color lithograph "Figurine Cup III," is reproduced from Ken Price: Slow and Steady Wins the Race, published by The Drawing Center. continue to blog
