Richard Jackson: Deer Beer

A pre-eminent figure in American contemporary art since the 1970s, Richard Jackson is known for his performative painting process which seeks to extend the potential of painting by upending its technical conventions and repositioning it as an everyday experience. His process-oriented work involves a high level of craftsmanship and engineering, harnessing the visual lexicon of domestic environments, basic human activities, and the quintessential American life to question and challenge the structures of the art world at large. This publication documents Jackson’s 1998 exhibition at Hauser & Wirth Zurich, ‘Deer Beer’.
