Mike Kelley - Catholic Tastes is a significant catalog published in 1993 to accompany the exhibition of the same name at the Whitney Museum of American Art. The book offers an in-depth exploration of Mike Kelley's provocative and multidisciplinary artistic practice, which spans sculpture, installation, video, and performance. Known for his interest in themes of identity, culture, and the darker sides of American life, Kelley’s work challenges conventional ideas of taste, morality, and social norms.
The 256-page softcover volume includes insightful essays, exhibition photographs, and detailed images of Kelley's artwork, providing a comprehensive understanding of his creative evolution and his unique approach to contemporary art. Catholic Tastes examines how Kelley subverts traditional religious and cultural symbols, using them as tools to confront societal issues such as trauma, sexuality, and the American psyche.
In very good condition, this book is a valuable resource for those interested in contemporary art, conceptual work, and Mike Kelley's legacy as one of the most influential American artists of the late 20th century.
