“Ron Nagle's works take influence from the paintings and drawings of Giorgio Morandi, Philip Guston, Josef Albers, the custom cars and hot rods of the West Coast from the 1930s-50s, and Wabi-Sabi qualities of Japanese Momoyama ceramics”

Produced on the occasion of Ron Nagle’s first solo exhibition at Modern Art, this catalogue illustrates the works in the exhibition by the artist in full colour, and includes a foreword by Stuart Shave.

For over five decades, Ron Nagle has produced intimate sculptural works. Each work is created from a variety of materials and is a careful arrangement of contrasting forms, colours, and textures that reflect a breadth of influences including the paintings and drawings of Giorgio Morandi, Philip Guston, Josef Albers, the custom cars and hot rods of the West Coast from the 1930s-50s, and Wabi-Sabi qualities of Japanese Momoyama ceramics. Published on the occasion of Ron Nagle’s solo exhibition at Modern Art, London (2 June – 8 July 2017).
