Stocked(Updated) Contemporary Art from the Grocery Aisles by Emily Stamey, PatriciaMcdonnell Paperback, 88 Pages, Published 2013 by Ulrich Art Museum ISBN-13: 978-1-887883-08-5, ISBN: 1-887883-08-8
"Stocked documents the work of contemporary artists who take the grocery store and consumption of its products as their subjects. Much of their work candidly cites 1960s pop, but these artists also use strategies culled from minimalism, performance, documentary photography, and scientific taxonomy. Keen observers and clever humourists, they prompt us to pay attention to the items we purchase, the spaces in which we buy them, the people w ..."

A gay man from small-town New England who was enchanted by the urban pleasures of Berlin, he developed a personal symbolism based on German military imagery--on the eve of World War I. A mystically inclined modernist whose paintings grew increasingly stark and bleak, he was overshadowed by popular and critical taste ..."
