Softcover. Condizione: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z / M : 264 pp., 249 ills. - This book traces the development of Pop Art in the fifties and sixties to the dialogue between British and American artists, documenting its complex genesis in London and later in New York and Los Angeles and concentrating on the development of its 'pure' characteristics, such as sharply outlined images and the use of photographic media and printing techniques. The book not only investigates the connections between American and British artists with respect to content and form but also takes a closer look at the exchange between the East and West Coast of the United States.

Hardcover. Chocolate brown cloth boards, color illustrated dust jacket. 120 pp. 44 color plates and 36 figures in color and b/w. "This illustrated book showcases some of the fifty works that the de Menils acquired over the decades, including pieces by such major twentieth-century artists as Lee Bontecou, Christo, Max Ernst, Rene Magritte, Jackson Pollock, Jean Tinguely, and Andy Warhol, as well as an important group of African, Oceanic, and pre-Columbian works."--BOOK JACKET.

First Edition. Fine cloth copy in an equally fine dust-wrapper. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Literally as new, still in the publisher's original shrink wrap. Physical description; 239 p. : col. ill., col. maps ; 30 cm. Summary; Bamana masks and headdresses, Lega ivories, Dogon sculpture, and Benue bronzes are among the many exquisite African artifacts found in the renowned Menil Collection. This stunning book-the first comprehensive catalogue on the de Menils' collection of African art-features 115 of the museum's finest pieces. Dating primarily from the 19th and 20th centuries, these works come from North Africa and the Sahel, Coastal West Africa, and Central and East Africa. An essay by scholar Kristina Van Dyke discusses the formation of the collection, which was inspired in part by its relationship to modernist works and by the couple's interest in human rights. This insightful text also explains how the de Menils' visionary spirit was influenced by African art and places those objects within the context of the whole of the de Menils' collection, in which works from ancient, Byzantine, medieval, modern, Oceanic, and Native American cultures speak to the universal struggle for human understanding. Entries for the selected works were written by leading scholars in the field and are grouped into sections based on regions. Subjects; Menil Collection (Houston, Tex.) Catalogs. Art, African Catalogs. 2 Kg. Item is Shipped from Ireland or US locations.

This catalogue accompanies the first exhibition since Franz Kline's death in 1962 to focus solely on his black and white abstract painting of the 1950s. Exploring the work of what is recognized as his classic period, David Anfam traces the artist's development and innovations utilizing a black-and-white palette and establishes his influence on painters of his generation like Willem de Kooning and Jackson Pollock, and on the next generation of American artists, including Robert Rauschenberg, Cy Twombly, and Brice Marden among others.

Costello, Eileen, Bernice Rose, Kate Ganz et al. JASPER JOHNS: Catalogue Raisonné of Drawing. 6 volumes: 1850 pages, 926 color plates. 4tos, cloth in individual slipcases. Houston, Menil Collection, 2018. Six decades of both iconic and intimate works by Jasper Johns (b. 1930), who is still producing at the age of 88, are given their full due in this magnificent multi-volume publication. Featuring exquisite full-page illustrations of all 813 known drawings by Johns, more than 200 of which have not been published or exhibited, the volumes demonstrate how Johns has been instrumental in elevating and establishing drawing as a major medium in contemporary art, and his drawings chart his artistic interests and aesthetic evolution. Five volumes are dedicated to the drawings, documenting materials and listing exhibition and publication histories, and the large-scale reproductions feature special production details. These include the use of special inks, such as a combination with silver for graphite works and custom mixes to represent particular colors, ensuring that the reproductions are as faithful as possible with state-of-the-art printing technology. The sixth volume includes an exhibition chronology and bibliography focused on drawings, as well as indexes to the set.
