Neil Jenney The Bad Years 1969-70

Concentrating on the brief but pivotal phase between 1969 and 1970, this catalogue makes a timely reconsideration of Neil Jenney's career, emphasizing his transition to a mature body of work. Jenney located new realisms in narratives built of simple object relations (such as the 1969 piece "Sawn and Saw," which depicts a saw and a piece of cut wood). His deceptively simple imagery and textual juxtapositions convey the temporal coexistence of these objects in both real and conceptual terms.Gardner, Paul is the author of 'Neil Jenney The Bad Years 1969-70' with ISBN 9781880154502 and ISBN 1880154501.
