INTERLOCK: ART, CONSPIRACY, AND THE SHADOW WORLDS OF MARK LOMBARDI

Book ID/图书代码： 03371015B84368

English Summary/英文概要： In the fateful month of March 2000, shortly after opening a hugely successful show in New York that unveiled the more nefarious financial connections of Presidential candidate George W. Bush, the hugely ambitious Conceptual artist Mark Lombardi was found hanged in his studio, an apparent suicide. With museums lining up to buy his work, and the fame he had sought relentlessly at last within his reach, speculation about whether his death was suicide or murder has titillated the art world ever since. Lombardi was an enigma who was at once a compulsive truth-teller and a cunning player of the art game, a political operative and a stubborn independent, a serious artist and a Merry Prankster, a metaphysicist if not a scientist.

Lombardi’s spidery, elusive diagrams describing the evolution of the shadow-banking industry from a decades-old alliances between intelligence agencies, banking, government and organized crime, may have made him unique in art history as the only artist whose primary subject, the CIA, has turned around and studied him and his art work. Exhaustively researched, this is the first comprehensive biography of this immensely contradictory and brilliantly original artist.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 2000年3月，在纽约成功举办了一场大型展览后不久（该展览揭露了总统侯选人乔治布什不道德的幕后经济网络），心怀抱负的概念派艺术家马克龙巴蒂（Mark Lombardi）被发现自缢于工作室。随着一时间的名声显赫，博物馆纷纷购买他的作品，而自此，关于他究竟是自杀还是他杀的猜测也在艺术界中激起千层浪。龙巴蒂至今是一个谜，他曾是一名敢说真话的艺术家，在“艺术游戏”中扮演着狡黠的角色，也因此引起了公众对他的兴趣，同时，他也是一名政治操作者、固执的无党派人士以及严肃的艺术家，甚至可以说，他是一名形而上学主义者，如果不是科学家的话。

龙巴蒂对于“影子银行业”细致、难以捉摸的勾勒令其成为艺术史上独一无二的人物，他从情报机构、银行业、政府及有组织犯罪之间长达几十年的联盟描述了“影子银行业”，其作品中的主要对象，中央情报局，已经开始对其和其艺术作品展开调查。本书研究充分，是对这位充满矛盾而又极具原创意识的艺术家的首部全面的传记。（LYR）
