| book description |

This monograph charts the evolution of the palm tree in the work of Charles Gaines over his decades-long career while delving into the conceptual underpinnings of his influential work. Published alongside Charles Gainesâ€™s 2019â€“20 exhibition at Hauser & Wirth Los Angeles, this monograph charts the evolution of the palm tree in Gainesâ€™s work from the 1980s to the present. In a new text, David Platzker explores the cultural and art historical contexts of the series, particularly the recent â€˜Numbers and Treesâ€™ works, shown for the first time in Los Angeles, that take palm trees as their subject. Also featured is a conversation between Gaines and Cherise Smith, which delves into the conceptual underpinnings of the artistâ€™s work. Additionally, this publication documents and discusses other works from Gainesâ€™s decades-long career, including the â€˜Manifestosâ€™ series (2008â€“18), exploring the threads that unite various parts of his practice.
