Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis

Object Paintings was the first solo museum exhibition of work by New York-based artist Wyatt Kahn. Containing references ranging from Soviet architecture to Cubism, Kahn’s work explores how paintings can be made entirely without paint and hover between two and three dimensions.

The book features the artist’s signature abstract constructions (which he creates by stretching unprimed canvas or other fabrics over irregular, hand-cut wood panels and then piecing them together, leaving gaps in the picture plane), together with prints, collages and drawings. The book features many fold out pages, together with a twin-linen cover that cuts at an angle from front to back, and the transcript from a puppet show that Kahn performed at the Museum as part of the exhibition.
