LG Williams: Selected Installations 1985 - 1987Forward Excerpt: It is with great pleasure and pride that I present this exhibition of work by LG Williams. LG has long held a confirmed, if somewhat unusual position in the contemporary art world. His work is perhaps better known in New York and and Los Angeles, rather than in his native San Francisco Bay Area. During this time his drawings and paintings have been closely watched and admired by collectors and peers, but little has been publicly seen of his picture-writings or public art projects, which by the way are beginning to generate an enthusiastic following of public, private and corporate patrons. LG has produced an amazingly profound, rigorous and challenging body of work during the past ten years. That this exhibition brings together a relative unknown body of work elicits renewed admiration and provides a rare opportunity for viewers to witness the breadth and subtlety of his approach to art. This volume is a photographic document of a series of artworks by LG Williams. It is a necessary volume for anyone interested in this important artist's work. It also provides valuable resource material for art historians, and scholars, regarding the artist and West Coast American Avant-garde Art in the late 20th and early 21st century. LG WILLIAMS is the Emma Hennings Distinguished Professor of Visual Art and Art History at D(D).DDDD University in Honolulu, Hawaii. He received his M.F.A from the University of California, Davis and B.A. from the Kansas City Art Institute. Williams also holds an honorary Ph.D. from ISSA, Cedar Rapids, IA. Williams has taught art, art history and art appreciation courses at the University of California-Davis, University of Southern California, California College of the Arts, and the University of Hawaii, to name a few. Author of many books and publications on art, art criticism, and poetry, Williams has appeared in Modern Painters, Juxtapoz, Artweek, Art Papers, Village Voice, San Francisco Chronicle, Honolulu Bulletin, Sacramento Bee, LA Weekly, Maui Weekly, SF Weekly, and The Bay Guardian. Williams’s recent curatorial projects include Wally Hedrick’s, War Room, at the San Francisco International Art Fair. His most recent book, Drawing Upon Art: A Workbook for Gardner's Art Through the Ages (Cengage Publishing), was published January 2009.Copyright © 1998-2009 LG WILLIAMS and The Estate of LG WILLIAMS www.lgwilliams.comLayout and Design: lgofbeverlyhills www.lgofbeverlyhills.comThis original title has complex layouts and color pages that have been optimized for reading on Kindle.
