Appearing like a catalogue of carpet or wallpaper samples, Black Cat is an inventory of glitter and a sparkling spoof on art and its history; a table-top book version of Armleder’s signature (and stunning) cycle of glitter-paint veil paintings with tongue-in-cheek tributes to Morris Louis and the legacy of Abstract Expressionism.
This book is an homage to the appeal of sparkles, the power of glitter and glamour, and a small wink to the heavens above, which Armleder has been closer to than most.
