这是**本专门介绍汤姆•萨克斯（生于1966年）的绘画作品的出版物，描述了他对将文化图标和企业标志与手工美学相结合的兴趣。萨克斯从美国的风景中挖掘图标，研究企业的主题和文化身份——如消费主义、品牌设计、文化统治和技术发展——以探索当代社会的成就、失败和固有的矛盾。除了David Rimanelli的文章和22张插图，还有与汤姆•萨克斯的对话和一份详尽的年表。

This is the first publication to focus exclusively on the roughly hewn paintings by Tom Sachs (b. 1966), tracing his interest in combining cultural icons and corporate logos with a handcrafted aesthetic. Mining the American landscape for iconography, Sachs investigates themes of corporate and cultural identity--such as consumerism, branding, cultural dominance, and technological development--to explore the achievements, failures, and inherent contradictions of contemporary society. In addition to the essay by David Rimanelli and twenty-two plates, there is a conversation with the artist and an extensive chronology.
