Fred Tomaselli The Times by Fred Tomaselli HC 2014 Coffee Table Book

Fred Tomaselli The Times by Fred Tomaselli HC 2014. Minimal wear, overall a high grade copy, see pics. A vibrant art monograph showcasing a decade‑long series in which Tomaselli transforms the front pages of The New York Times into psychedelic, emotionally charged collages. Each piece starts with an actual NYT front page—typically focused on world‑changing headlines (Hurricane Katrina, financial meltdown, political scandals, tsunamis, war, revolutions) He overlays these newsprint backdrops with luminous layers of gouache, acrylic, collaged imagery (insects, flowers, symbolic shapes), drawing from historical art styles like Mughal miniatures, German Expressionism, Arabesque, and even Joan Miró’s cosmic abstractions. Tomaselli treats this series as a kind of “daily diary” and creative ritual: each morning he spreads out the paper and engages with current events through an artistic lens. The Times is both a compelling visual time capsule of the early 21st century and a personal, painterly reimagining of the news. It's perfect for art lovers, news junkies, and anyone drawn to the intersection of media, politics, and creative expression.
