1st edition, 2018
Text by Sophie Dannenmüller (english)
21,8 x 23,4 cm, 31 pages
Exhibition catalogue for Wallace Berman's 2018 'Visual Music' show at Galerie Frank Elbaz in Paris. The artist always kept strong ties to the music world and track of the latest developments, exploring the avant-garde beyond California and confidential productions. After returning to Los Angeles, Berman began his series of Verifax Collages, which he always composed while listening to music. As a result, sound infuses the artist’s artwork. Explicit or implicit, musical references abound in the Verifax Collages. The collages propose a dense sequential visual reading of American society, alluding to politics, current events, history, and culture, set against an undisclosed musical background.
