Edition of CD + C, signed and numbered examples. About the Publication: George Condo, Drawing Paintings (2011), published by Skarstedt Gallery, New York, stands as a definitive documentation of one of Condo’s most acclaimed bodies of work. The publication accompanied the landmark exhibition of the same name, held at Skarstedt Gallery from November 4 through December 17, 2011, which brought together a series of works exploring the intersection of drawing and painting—two modes of creation that Condo masterfully fused into a single, psychologically charged process. Produced with meticulous attention to detail, the folio exemplifies the gallery’s commitment to fine art publishing, combining archival printing, and scholarly design to convey the visual complexity and intellectual depth of Condo’s practice. Printed by Transcontinental Litho Acme in Montréal, the edition reflects the technical precision and tonal richness necessary to convey Condo’s painterly surfaces and dynamic compositions. The project was realized under the direction of Project Coordinators Brady Doty and Dina Shaulov-Wright, with design by And Smith, LLC, ensuring the publication’s seamless integration of artistic and curatorial vision. More than a catalogue, the folio serves as both a visual archive and an aesthetic object in its own right, capturing the tension between chaos and order that defines Condo’s work. George Condo, Drawing Paintings remains an essential record of the artist’s ongoing dialogue between imagination, art history, and the fractured psychology of contemporary existence. About the Artist: George Condo (born 1957) is an American contemporary artist celebrated for his visionary fusion of abstraction, figuration, and psychological portraiture that bridges the grandeur of Old Master painting with the fractured sensibilities of modern and postmodern art. Born in Concord, New Hampshire, Condo studied art history and music theory before moving to New York City in 1979, where he became a central figure in the East Village art scene alongside Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, and Julian Schnabel. His early experiences at Andy Warhol’s Factory exposed him to the interplay between fame, seriality, and popular culture, informing his concept of “Artificial Realism,” a style that merges classical draftsmanship with the chaos of contemporary life. Profoundly influenced by Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray, Condo inherited from them a spirit of radical invention, surrealism, and intellectual play, transforming these legacies into his own psychologically charged idiom. His signature “psychological cubism” reimagines portraiture through fractured, expressive figures that embody the instability of modern identity, fusing beauty and grotesque distortion in a single image. Condo’s mastery of color, structure, and emotional tension draws upon the legacy of Velazquez, Goya, and Rembrandt while channeling the existential depth of Giacometti and the conceptual wit of Duchamp. His collaborations with William S. Burroughs and his iconic 2010 album cover for Kanye West’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy exemplify his ongoing dialogue between high art and pop culture. Like Picasso, Miro, Dali, and Duchamp before him, Condo’s work captures the delirium and multiplicity of the human psyche through a language of visual fragmentation that continues to shape contemporary art. His influence can be seen in later artists such as Dana Schutz, Adrian...
