2011159646New York: Rizzoli 2011. Hardcover. New; in shrink wrap. Color-illus. boards with peach spine. 172 pp. with color images throughout. The first monograph on the popular New York-based artist Will Cotton best known for his large-scale portraits of female nudes in candy-coated dreamlike landscapes. Will Cotton is best known for his depictions of "landscapes" composed of sweets: fondant frostings peppermint sticks marshmallows and cotton-candy clouds often inhabited by languidly posed females. Executed with flawless skill and technique Cotton's work is an optical delight and is formally resonant with the influences of seventeenth-century rococo paintings the nudes of Bouguereau and Cabanel and the classic American pin-ups of George Petty and Alberto Vargas. Cotton's figures are often inspired by models such as burlesque performers and fellow artists from the art film and music worlds. This book is a celebration of Cotton's work in all mediums: prints drawings canvases and public events. In addition to this elegantly designed trade volume a limited edition of one hundred copies accompanied by a signed and numbered print will be available through Pace Prints. Rizzoli hardcover books

Illus. b/w plates. Unique binding on Limited edition this being Artist Proof 3 <br/><br/>"The inspiration for this text came during fish trips Alan James Robinson took during college in where he would often see roadkill on the side of the road. These animal deaths became the haunting wood engravings inside the text which are paired with prose and poetry about roadkill. <br />I wanted to highlight one of the animals from the text on the cover of the binding. I chose the coyote because I was captured by the angle showcasing its long lanky legs. The coyote is set against a hand-dyed background made to resemble gravel and the outline of a river in the area where Robinson attended college. The river is embroidered over a range of different animal leathers plus handmade paper." artist statement Cheloniidae Press hardcover books
