Publishing on 9th April
Chocolate Cosmos, String of Pearls presents the dazzling mixed-media botanical collages of New York artist Jane Hammond. Alongside these collages, made over the last decade, the book features a foreword by gallerist John Berggruen, an extended essay by the award-winning biographer and historian Jenny Uglow and a new text by Hammond herself.
These illuminate more than fifty of Hammond’s meticulous and spectacular compositions of flowers, grasses, seaweed, seeds, insects, birds and mammals of all description, coexisting in a blend of harmony and unsettling tension. Each publication in the Hurtwood Artist & Gallery Series presents new, recent and selected works by a single artist working nationally and internationally today. Along with a foreword by an established art world professional, the series features specially commissioned essays and interviews with the artist by leading writers, art historians and curators, offering in- depth insight. Central to each publication are the exhibitions and galleries that help to spotlight some of the most engaging artists of today.
Chocolate Cosmos, String of Pearls is published in association with Berggruen Gallery, San Francisco.
