Eduardo Terrazas: Possibilites of a Structure Published by Turner.
Text by Jaime Repollés, Tomás Maldonado, Guillermo Fadanelli, Jim Nikas, Rafael Argullol, Raquel Tibol, Nuria Castañeda, Lorena Wolffer. For more than 40 years, the Mexican artist, designer and architect Eduardo Terrazas (born 1936) has worked across disciplines to imagine new ways of adding color and expansiveness to the landscape around him. This volume compiles his abstract paintings for the first time. Terrazas’ abstractions range from bright, bold and chunkily geometric paintings to more delicate, evanescent works, but all are suffused with a robust and joyous feeling for color. Here, these works are organized into a visual tour of Terrazas’ entire oeuvre, arranged in pairs that mix the various series comprising his visual art, establishing analogies, contrasts and affinities. Possibilities of a Structure includes an introduction, three essays, a conversation and a biographical profile, as well as a catalogue presenting the oeuvre divided into 15 series, each accompanied by an analytical text and information.
