Softcover catalogue published to accompany the artist's 1999 exhibition at Deitch's Projects. Like new, with no marks or flaws; no sign of handling or wear. From the gallery's description of this exhibition: "Brad Kahlhamer's exuberant work reflects both his Native American heritage and his immersion in the history of modern and contemporary painting. He fuses the visionary approach and dream-like space of Native American art with the gestural energy of action painting. The subject of Kahlhamer's work in his exhibition Friendly Frontier was the American landscape. His version of the American landscape is teeming with wild animals, towers of rock concert amplifiers and ecstatic portraits of the artist and his friends, both real and imaginary. Kahlhamer's paintings are an arena for him to explore the world of his ancestors and to create his own hybrid landscape that fuses his heritage with his own contemporary experience. He thinks of his paintings as his third place, as distinct from the first place of his Native American heritage, and his second place of his more conventional American upbringing with his adoptive parents. Kahlhamer creates his own personal America in his work, scrambling the real and the imaginary."
