The most comprehensive survey of the celebrated Dutch artist Michael
Raedecker's work spanning his 30-year career
Michael Raedecker, the acclaimed Dutch artist, records the memories held
within spaces and objects in his enigmatic and dream-like paintings.
Suburban homes, tree houses, and empty rooms and vacant chairs, all
float in haunting isolation. Muted hues are penetrated with thread and
needle where the artist hand-sews forms into textural materiality.
Since the beginning of his career as a painter, Raedecker has
incorporated embroidery into his works as a visual counterpoint to his
washed-out paint application. This survey of his work, designed by the
acclaimed Dutch graphic designer, Irma Boom, is the most comprehensive
published to date, featuring essays by a unique and diverse group of
critics, curators, artists, and academics.
