Brian Jungen Art Exhibition Catalogue

This is a hardbound art monograph or exhibition catalogue dedicated to the work of Canadian artist Brian Jungen. The front cover features a high-fidelity photographic wrap-around image of Jungen's iconic 'Prototypes for New Understanding' series, which consists of Aboriginal masks meticulously constructed from disassembled Nike Air Jordan sneakers. The color palette of the cover art is dominated by white, red, and black, reflecting the classic Chicago Bulls-style sneaker colorway. The artist's name, 'BRIAN JUNGEN', is printed vertically in a sleek, sans-serif grey or silver typeface on the right edge of the white-bordered front face. The book appears to be approximately 10 to 12 inches in height, common for fine art publications. Its condition shows signs of use in a retail or thrift environment, resting on a shopping cart handle. There is slight visible softening at the corners and a small dark scuff or smudge on the lower right quadrant of the white cover background. The binding appears tight, and the paper quality seems high, likely featuring heavy matte or semi-gloss pages typical of mid-2000s contemporary art catalogues. This publication likely dates to around 2005-2006, coinciding with major retrospectives of his work at the Vancouver Art Gallery and the New Museum.
