Uncovering three decades of work from the little-known artistic oeuvre of the famed White Stripes frontman
This volume is published following the major exhibition of the same name works by the American artist Jack White (born 1975), which took place at Damien Hirst's Newport Street Gallery in London. The exhibition marked White's first public showing of his art and includes works made by the artist over the last 30 years, from sculpture and installations to furniture design products. White's 2015 sculpture The Red Tree was reproduced for the exhibition, preserving the original concept of transforming a decaying tree into a striking artwork. Taking inspiration from both midcentury modern design and local Detroit Cass Corridor artists such as Gordon Newton and Robert Sestok as well as his apprenticeship background in upholstery, White opened his own upholstery shop, Third Man Upholstery, in 1996. While White's sculpture and upholstery have largely been confined to private work over the past 20 years, he has also explored his design tendencies via his independent record label, Third Man Records. Whether interiors, visuals for print, photography, industrial design or film, White designs with purpose, conviction and passion.
