Complete catalogue (19842015) One of Matt Mullican's central and most consequential inventions, the so-called Rubbings, are a kind of "frottages," a technique the artist uses to produce specific pictures. From the beginning of his career, Mullican looked for pictures that would not be paintings; thus, he used banners, the traditional carriers of signs, posters, and, in 1984, he realized his first Rubbing. He used a cardboard plate on which the canvas was placed; by rubbing with an oil stick the cardboard reliefs, forms became visible on the canvas. This way, Mullican was able to transfer complex representations onto canvas; the result is a picture of something that is not present, it is a form of copy. The cardboard plates may be used for other works and so the imagery can reappear in different configurations. Each Rubbing is a single work and at the same time a reproduction, like a print, part of a sequence which contains picture elements from different sources. Following the Rubbings from 1984 to recent times, it becomes visible that they represent the motives and themes the artist worked with over the years. The sequence of the Rubbings appears therefore like a diary of Mullican's work. The forthcoming book presents a catalogue of the Rubbings on canvas from 1984 to 2015. It comprises ca. 400 works, documented by images and catalogue entries. The book also contains an essay by Dieter Schwarz. Published in collaboration with Kunstmuseum Winterthur.
