Alex Da Corte: Mr. Remember

The comprehensive monograph "Alex Da Corte: Mr. Remember" celebrates the work of Philadelphia-based installation artist Alex Da Corte, renowned for his vibrant and captivating creations.

Born in 1980, Da Corte gained acclaim for his 2021 Roof Garden Commission at the Met, titled "As Long as the Sun Lasts."

The monograph delves into Da Corte's Day-Glo works, deeply rooted in American arts and culture, with influences ranging from traditional arts to popular figures like Disney characters.

Known for his satirical existentialism, Da Corte often appears in his films, portraying iconic figures such as Popeye, the Statue of Liberty, Fred Rogers, or Eminem.

The book, published for a major retrospective at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark, provides a comprehensive overview of Da Corte's significant works, connecting themes of consumer culture, self-identity, and playful melancholy.

The publication features stunning production with a three-color cloth binding, silver foil on the cover, and an abundance of colorful images showcasing his installations.
