""Color Chart" addresses the impact of standardized, mass-produced color on the art of the past 60 years. Taking the commercial color chart as its central metaphor, this volume chronicles an important artistic shift that took place during the middle of the twentieth century: a frank acknowledgment of color as a matter-of-fact element rather than a vehicle of spiritual or emotional content.

ISBN-13: 978-1-941701-25-6, ISBN: 1-941701-25-6

"Well known for his radical “anarchitectural” interventions throughout the 1970s, Gordon Matta-Clark was always deeply, though less publicly, committed to drawing. His works on paper—which span three-dimensional reliefs, calligraphy, and notebook entries—capture the interdisciplinary spirit that defined the art world in the 1970s. Intricate and concise, they testify to his interest in the crossovers between visual and performance arts, a ..."

"In Freud's terms, whilst mourning involves the loss of an actual object, melancholia involves some kind of loss of the self, or a part of one's self, which can result in a kind of narcissistic injury. Distinct in important ways, then, both mourning and melancholia involve the loss of an object, and for Kristeva, in Black Sun, loss is the founding fact of psychic life.50 Death cannot be represented in Freud's unconscious, but imprin ..."
