Tom Huck:
The Devil is in the Details
Prints 1995-2020
About the book:
Hück’s woodcuts arrived at a time when American printmaking had grown moribund and stale after decades of decline. Hück and his fellow Outlaw Printmakers constituted the vanguard of a new generation of artists who embraced a Medieval art form and lashed it with social satire, irony, and proclivity to the offensive.
Tom Hück: The Devil is in The Details, Prints 1995–2020 is the first retrospective of Hück’s work and compiles not only his finished work but glimpses into his process and the evolution of his ideas from notebook to, in the case of works such as The Transformation of Brandy baghead, over fifty square feet of carved wood and paper.
Tom Hück: The Devil is in The Details, Prints 1995–2020 details the first two decades of Hücks work and lays the groundwork for monumental works to come.
