{"title":"Jack Pierson","description":"\u003cp\u003eJack Pierson (b. 1960, Plymouth, Massachusetts) is an American artist whose practice spans photography, drawing, installation and sculpture. Working from the late 1980s onwards, he developed a body of work that moves between desire, melancholy and the vernacular surfaces of American life. His word sculptures — assembled from salvaged letters in mismatched typefaces and colours — have become among the most recognised works in contemporary art, combining the visual language of commercial signage with states of longing, loss and aspiration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe material gathered here records that practice through exhibition invitations and printed ephemera issued in connection with his exhibitions.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"jack-pierson-ennui-la-vie-continue-galerie-thaddaeus-ropac-paris-2013","title":"JACK PIERSON — Ennui (La Vie Continue).
