Beschreibung:

A beautifully presented book about STUART’s life and art: Coincides with the first major retrospective of SUTCLIFFE’s work. Contributions from leading lights in art and popular culture including John Savage, Donald Kuspit (State University of New York at Stony Brook) and Bill Harry. Includes a new interview with ASTRID KIRCHERR. Lavishly illustrated with colour plates of SUTCLIFFE’s rarely seen art along with ASTRID KIRCHERR’s iconic photographs of STUART and THE BEATLES in Hamburg. STUART SUTCLIFFE is best known to many as the original bass player in THE BEATLES, touring with the band in Hamburg in 1960 and 1961. Less well-known is his interest in art. STUART SUTCLIFFE: A Retrospective charts his life as a student at the Liverpool College of Art and subsequently in Hamburg through accounts by people who knew STUART personally. Rod Murray, STUART’s great friend at art college, provides a unique insight into their in the city in the late 1950s, with fascinating details of the pubs and clubs they frequented, and many flats in which they resided. Further detail is provided by Bill Harry, another art school contemporary Merseybeat. STUART’s life in Hamburg is recorded through a transcribed interview with his fiancé ASTRID KIRCHERR. It was in a studio created in ASTRID’s mother’s attic that STUART made his famous Hamburg series abstract expressionist canvases. Art historical context is added to these contemporary accounts by essays from Bryan Biggs, who curated the last major exhibition of STUARTs work in Liverpool, and Jon Savage, the leading cultural historian.

The essays are complemented with 32 colour plates illustrating key paintings and numerous additional black and white photographs showing STUART and his contemporaries, including THE BEATLES. Some of the latter are unpublished. Paperback. UK. 128 pages. Measures 24.5cm x 22.5cm (9.5 inches x 8.75 inches)
