rearranged for Bill, 2021

Phaidon and Artspace are pleased to announce a new limited edition artwork by New York-based artist Jim Hodges: rearranged for Bill (2021).

American artist Jim Hodges is known internationally for his singular ability to infuse emotion and narrative into the objects of our daily lives, centering experience as the primary objective of his work. Many of Hodges’ sculptures are forged from humble, even overlooked materials that are transformed through his touch, conjuring both memory and imagination. A gesture of inclusivity, rearranged for Bill relies upon participation; collectors are invited to build the work themselves by following the artist’s simple instructions and bending the book’s unique photograph pages to realize the final piece.

rearranged for Bill revisits an earlier work completed in 1996, entitled Arranged, which also combined random still lives of found flower images folded into a freestanding object. The new edition’s title pays homage to Art Resources Transfer founder Bill Bartman (1946–2005) and proceeds from the sale of the 2021 limited edition will benefit A.R.T., an organization committed to distributing and publishing books on contemporary art while interrogating the shifting social roles of the library and the printed book.

Jim Hodges’ art has merged the practices of drawing and sculpture since the 1980s. From such large scale installations as his permanent glass sculptures at New York City’s Grand Central Terminal (2020) to such intimate works as the doodled napkins comprising Diary of Flowers (1994), a through-line in Hodges’ practice is his persistent and patient study of temporality, life, and love. His work has been the subject of numerous solo exhibitions at institutions including the Centre Pompidou, Paris; Camden Art Centre, London; the Aspen Art Museum; CGAC, Santiago de Compostela, Spain; Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs, New York; and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago. Most recently a major traveling retrospective of Hodges’s work was exhibited at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; the Dallas Museum of Art; and the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles. Hodges has received multiple awards and grants including the Association International des Critiques d’art, the Albert Ucross Prize, Washington State Arts Commission, and the Penny McCall Foundation Grant.

All our frames are manufactured in the USA, using eco-friendly and sustainably sourced engineered hardwood for durability and a uniform finish that is free of defects. Frames are available in Black or White Satin and Honey Pecan.

All prints are hinged to a conservation quality, acid-free and lignin-free Alpha Cellulose matboard, using an acid-free linen tape. The mat's surface paper is fade and bleed resistant and is attached to a conservation quality foam-core mounting board that will keep the work safe from deterioration over time. Artworks with a deckled or decorative edges will be floated on the matboard, with acrylic spacers to separate the art from the glazing. All mounting is fully reversible, without any potential damage to the art.

All of our frames come with picture quality .090 mm plexiglass, which blocks 66% of UV to prevent color fading from exposure to light, keeping your art protected for years to come. It is now considered the industry standard for artists, museums and galleries throughout the world.
