George Condo: The Mad and the Lonely

This catalogue documents George Condo’s exhibition The Mad and The Lonely, the site-specific installation at the DESTE Foundation’s Project Space at the Slaughterhouse on the island of Hydra in Greece, which included a number of small-scale paintings and sculptures selected from the artist’s long-standing career and recontextualized in the storied space. With a vivid 40-page leporello, this book includes texts by Dakis Joannou, Jake Brodsky, and a long essay by Condo himself that probe the many sites and sources of inspiration for The Mad and The Lonely, with a special focus on the evocative sculpture The Triumph of Insanity.
