77 and/or 58 and/with 19 is a book of texts for seventy-seven artworks by Darren Bader. Each text is a certificate text issued to an owner of the artist’s work. Sometimes generative of an artwork, sometimes delimiting its use/display, the certificates are integral to Bader’s practice with their language echoing the sensitivity and wit of his exhibitions. The publication collects these certificate texts for works from throughout the artist’s career. Images only appear when texts refer to specific photographs.

Darren Bader is an artist based in New York. He is represented by Andrew Kreps Gallery, Sadie Coles HQ, Galleria Franco Noero, and Blum & Poe. His work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at the Kölnischer Kunsteverein, Germany and PS1, New York, and has been featured in group exhibitions at the Serralves Museum, Whitney Museum, Palais de Tokyo, and MOCA, Los Angeles.
