More than 50 artists--including the famous, like Max Ernst, inventor of the term \"frottage,\" and the relatively unknown--are presented. Four thematic sections explore different aspects of frottage: its roots in Surrealism and the practice of automatic drawing; the notion of trace, of either a place or an idea left behind in a rubbing; the \"apparitions\" or ghostlike attributes that can appear on the surface of an artwork; and the associations between rubbings, death, and memory. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDistributed for the Menil Collection \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHammer Museum, UCLA\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (02\/08\/15-05\/31\/15)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Menil Collection\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (09\/11\/15-01\/03\/16)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Menil Foundation","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47595847286935,"sku":"9780300214697","price":5748.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780300214697.webp?v=1774991420","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/apparitions-frottages-and-rubbings-from-1860-to-now-9780300214697","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
