Rachel feinstein

Straddling pop culture, installation art, and contemporary culture, Rachel Feinstein's paintings, multipart installations, and additive sculptures reveal her singular flair for synthesizing myriad cultural fascinations -religion, myth, beauty, mortality, decadence -into lush vignettes of the marvelous. As an artist, she explores issues of taste and desire, fusing intellectual opposites like romance and pornography, elegance and kitsch, to create visually stunning tableaux that have intrigued and astonished art fans and critics alike. This catalogue is the artist's first major volume, a comprehensive look at her oeuvre, sculpture, paintings, pastels, and drawings and the definitive monograph surveying the work of this important female American artist.
