In 1996, Phaidon released one of the important early publications on Luc Tuymans in its critically acclaimed ‘Contemporary Artist Series,’ which has now become a collector’s item.
Re-published in 2003 and still kept in print, the revised and expanded edition added over 100 pages and included new artist’s writings and an expansive illustrated chronology.
Available in paperback, this edition has over 260 pages and approximately 300 illustrations (250 in color).

As reviewed by Art Monthly, “Amongst other recently published monographs, the revised and enlarged edition of Phaidon’s Luc Tuymans…is opportune as it is just in time for his major show at Tate Modern in the Summer of 2004. Indeed Tate will find it difficult to match the breadth and scale of this book in any exhibition catalogue it may choose to produce. Tuymans is rapidly gaining groung as the successor to Gerhard Richter as the History Painter of the late 20th Century, and this book, which amounts to a catalogue raisonné as nearly every one of his paintings is reproduced, goes some way towards confirming his reputation.”

Luc Tuymans' paintings are more photographic than most photographs. His work is deeply rooted in the aesthetics of memory, the stream of media images in our culture, cinema and video, the "photographic" cues that we expect -- the way the edges of light look in an enlarged low-resolution image, the fragmentation in a snapshot, the "physicality" of a Polaroid -- and the apparent randomness of his wide-ranging subject matter (from the Holocaust to the specific pink color of the Financial Times).

From the publisher: "Tuymans' monochromatic palette and his choice of subject matter - domestic interiors, commonplace objects and family portraits - link painting with post-war filmmaking and amateur photography. The sources of images on many of his canvases give his work a brooding violence. Although modest in scale and sensitive in execution, his work is powerful in its haunting evocation of lost lives and repressed histories."
