Vitamin D: New Perspectives in Drawing
is a wonderful survey of a medium whose
relevance in the broader context of contemporary art has finally been established. Over a hundred international artists working in a variety of styles and mediums are profiled here with little fluff and plenty of full-size (the book is 11.6" x 10.2") color images. My personal stand-outs include William Kentridge, Raymond Pettibon, Ellen Gallagher, Simon Evans and Tacita Dean. Any surprise that they all incorporate words into their work?
