Presenting recently rediscovered drawings, 'Andrew Wyeth: Life and Death' explores what it means for an artist to picture their own death, in both the context of Wyeth’s late career and contemporary American art. This volume presents for the first time a recently rediscovered series of pencil drawings from the early 1990s, through which Wyeth imagined his own funeral. Chapters by leading art historians explore the significance of picturing one’s own death in both the context of Wyeth’s late career and contemporary American art. The book connects the funeral series to Wyeth’s decades-long engagement with death as an artistic subject in painting, his relationships with the models depicted, and his use of drawing as an expressive and exploratory medium. It further inserts Wyeth’s work into a larger conversation about mortality and self-portraiture that developed in American art since the 1960s, and includes works by @duanemichals Andy Warhol, David Wojnarowicz, George Tooker, @janaina_tschape_studio and @mariomooreart Published by @delmonico_books and @colbymuseum Edited with text by Tanya Sheehan.
