Review Quotes

James Welling (Aperture) is a sensationally attractive book. It was published to coincide with a large survey exhibition of the artist's work from the 1970s through 2012 that opened at the Cincinnati Art Museum and traveled to the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, where I caught up with it. The main text by James Crump, is an exemplary account of Welling's career to date: It proceeds in chronological order, series by series, with unflagging intellegence and critical acumen.

What gives Monograph its special allure are the 250 technically superb illustrations in black-and-white and color, which offer a brilliant tour d'horizon of Welling's remarkably inventive, multifarious, often lyrically beautiful production. No one persuing this dazzling and substantial book could possibly doubt that Welling ranks among the foremost photographic artits in the world today.--Michael Fried"Artforum" (12/01/2014)
