First published on the occasion of an exhibition held October 4, 1995 - January 21, 1996 at the Royal Academy of Arts, London. This magnificent celebration of the world's oldest and most diverse artistic traditions is the definitive book on African art. Ranging from the oldest known human artifact, circa 1.6 million BC, to pieces made within living memory, the objects collected in this extraordinary volume reflect a continent of enormous cultural and historical scope. Arranged chronologically within seven geographical sections, it offers an astonishing array of sculptures in wood, bronze, stone, and gold, as well as mural paintings, ceremonial pieces, ceramics, jewelry, and textiles culled from private and public collections around the world. Commentary by renowned scholars illuminates the cultural and historical significance of these pieces, and in-depth authoritative texts highlight critical aspects of each region. Together these words and images take readers on an artistic grand tour through a continent of unparalleled diversity, and towards the thrilling discovery of not one Africa, but many.

Softcover. Condizione: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 96 Pages, 73 Ills. - Martin Kippenberger's "Metro-Net Project" consists of six conceptual subway entrances and ventilating shafts that connect up various places on earth in an imaginary way. Kippenberger constructed three entrances in the series: the first in 1992 in Syros, the second in 1995 in Dawson in northwest Canada, and the third in 1997 in Leipzig. The artist extended his subway net with two further works, an entrance and a ventilating shaft which he conceived as "transportable" elements. The entrance was exhibited in 1997 in Kassel at the documenta X, the ventilating shaft in 1997 at the Sculpture Project in Münster. The series will be completed by a sixth ventilating shaft that Kippenberger originally designed for Tokyo, which will now be erected in the garden of Schindler House in Los Angeles. The shaft "reacts" to visitors by emitting warm compressed air and rattling noises through the gratings in the ground - ostensibly from the subway deep under Kings Road.…
