Charles Krafft's Villa Delirium
by Mike McGee and Larry Reid
Paperback: 96 pages
Publisher: Last Gasp
December 2002
Charles Krafft's one-of-a-kind artwork moves in provocative directions, combining
the highbrow with the gruesome in such works as his Disasterware
(Delft-style painted plates featuring catastrophes) and
Sponeware ("the human bone china"). Krafft's work has appeared
in The New Yorker, Harper's Magazine, Artforum, and Juxtapoz.
With 60 color photographs, the full range of his plates, paintings,
and other creations is sampled in this book, which also includes
biographical information on this remarkable self-taught painter.
This book has many wonderful full color photographs of his work, and
also comes with invitation to a show he had titled, "King of Spone: Reliquaries and Memento Mori" by Charles Krafft.
The reception date for this show was Friday, the Thirteenth of June and was held at the Mount Pleasant Cemetery.
The show was at the Queen Anne Columbarium. Live music included a harpist, a bagpiper and Climax Golden Twins.
Book is in excellent condition.
