Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. For one year, respected critic and curator Bob Nickas put his money where his eyes are: he decided to become a collector, someone who takes art off gallery walls instead of hanging it there. His ground rules dictated that he would buy one work per month from an artist he had never written about or exhibited before. In this fascinating diary of his year on the market, he tracks the changes in his relation to art, when the commitment becomes one of the wallet and not just the mind and words. It has affected the way I look at art, he writes. On the one hand, if I am unwilling to part with my hard-earned money, how worthy can the art really be? On the other, there are certainly works far above my humble means. For this project, I have had to pay to have my say.

Reyes lush and colorful paintings, featuring human beings in harmony with nature, disavow an anthropocentric, Eurocentric worldviewA self-taught artist, Emma Reyes (19132003) made an impression on such luminaries as Lola Alvarez Bravo, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Frida Kahlo, Andre Lhote, Enrico Prampolini and Diego Rivera during her nomadic life.

Dan Walsh makes a painting: a fascinating account of the acclaimed abstract painters processWith this publication, New Yorkbased painter, printmaker, bookmaker and sculptor Dan Walsh (born 1960) allows the reader to enter his studio and follow his idiosyncratic artistic process. By showing different stages of paintinguntil the very final oneof a group of 12 recent works (201922), he offers a way to understand how a painting is built, how colors and forms merge together, how photography is a precious tool for painterly thinking and how composition and structure are organic processes, even if the result in his case is fundamentally geometrical and grid-based. In his essay, critic and curator Bob Nickas traces the genealogy of such unveiling of the painting process from de Kooning to the present and analyzes in depth Walsh's specific way of making a painting.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Dream-inspired book covers for imaginary pulp novels by Americana connoisseur-bricoleur Jim ShawSince the 1970s, American artist Jim Shaw (born 1952) has used his multimedia artistic practice as a means of exploring and exploiting pop-culture iconography. This publication focuses on one of the key series in Shaw's corpus, in which he draws inspiration from the Anglo-American graphic design and illustrative tradition of cheap paperback books. Inspired by the artist's intense dreaming life, the Paperback Covers series (1996-2013) recreates the lurid imagery associated with pulp novels, with vertical canvases that depict fantastical and irreverent imagery: in one, a werewolf in suspenders is struck by an oncoming 18-wheeler; in another, a line of chorus girls dance in front of a vampire and a woman in red as the couple is in engulfed by flames. Though these "books" bear no text, Shaw's paintings evoke exciting narratives within a single image.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Chiangs meditative process creates detailed paintings with intricate webs of forms and vibrant ceramics fluctuating between fragility and strengthNew Yorkbased artist Julia Chiang (born 1978) is known for her paintings and ceramics, which use abstract compositions and organic forms to evoke a connection to the vastness of the universe.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Exploring the process and materiality of photography through subjective and textural interpretations of the figureIranian American artist Sheree Hovsepians (born 1974) practice highlights the physicality of photography and its relationship to the human body. She employs ceramic, string, nylon and velvet alongside printed images in her assemblages to compose a sense of the framed physical body. Coaxed into sculptural forms, layered with tactile materials and assembled into larger compositions, her work oscillates between object and image, creating an embodied experience of the photographic document. As the artist states in her conversation with Charlotte Cotton, "I am interested in creating a narrative between the materials and the objects I choose to photograph. Many of the components of the collage allow me to work with my hands, which is a very satisfying practice and permits me to put in the hours to physically understand its material language." This monograph presents Hovsepians photographs, ink drawings, photograms, assemblages and sculptures, collected for the first time in a publication.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. A central figure of the New York art scene of the 1960s and 70s, Castoro experimented in painting, sculpture and performance: subversive even for her timeAs a self-titled "paintersculptor," Rosemarie Castoro (19392015) had a singular take on Minimal and Conceptual art. She initially explored the potential of abstract and monochrome painting, going on to expand their sphere and modes of operation to incorporate the body, and even the exhibition space, thanks to decisive sculptural experimentation, organic metal and Masonite shapes, street works and architectural interventions. In so doing, she distorted elementary forms through her haptic, integrated and sexualized treatment. Together with Christine Kozlov and Adrian Piper, she was one of the women artists featured in Ursula Meyers anthology of Conceptual art in 1972. Lucy R. Lippard included her in her famous Numbers exhibitions in 1969championing Castoro as having "subverted or overridden Minimalism on its own turf." Archival documentation as well as new exhibition views and images of works complete this volume, published with MAMCO Geneva, to make it the most comprehensive monograph available on the artist.

"With sampling, shuffling, and montage taking center stage, the practice of Swiss-American artist Christian Marclay (*1955) has been anchored in the universe of sound since the end of the 1970s.

Also a performer, he has taken part in numerous musical projects, making the vinyl record and the turntable his favorite instruments." -- Publisher's website.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This comprehensive monograph illuminates Wilcox's work in collaged movie and television footage and handmade animation--mythical romantic mini-narratives--with essays from Johanna Burton and New Yorker critic Hilton Als. Wilcox shoots in Super 8, both original footage and preexisting film from a video monitor, transfers his work to video for editing, and then to 16 millimeter for presentation. When it is shown, the sound of the projector dominates the gallery space, while the silence of the film itself indexes the impossibility of hearing the silent voices. There is no illusion of transparency, of believing one might share any kind of simple present with the characters on the screen. Instead, the transfers between formats give the collected imagery a sort of patina, suggesting not only temporal distance--the weight of history--but also a shift in the equilibrium of the senses.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Cheng's genre-defying practice challenges our perceptions of environmental change and the role of technology in societyPublished with The Contemporary Austin.Carl Cheng (born 1942) first developed his art practice in Southern California in the 1960s amid a booming postwar aerospace industry, political unrest and an interdisciplinary art scene. In 1966 he incorporated his studio as John Doe Co., and from then on created sculptural "products" that reflect his conception of technology as an artistic tool. Originally recognized for his photographic sculptures, his inventive lexicon includes "art tools" employed in the production of ephemeral artworks, "nature machines" that anticipate an artificial world shaped by humans, kinetic installations and public art intended to reach broad audiences and question the relevance of art institutions.Nature Never Loses surveys six decades of Chengs prescient, genre-defying work and accompanies the eponymous traveling exhibition organized by the Contemporary Austin.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. A superb facsimile of Dorothy Ianonne's 1970 comic-book tale of censorship, sexuality and female autonomyAs much as Love and Eros have defined my work since its beginnings, so too has censorship, or its shadow, accompanied it," recalls Dorothy Iannone (born 1933) in her introduction to this facsimile publication of her legendary The Story of Bern, [or] Showing Colors. First published by Iannone and her then companion Dieter Roth in 1970, in an edition of 500, the book documents the censorship of Iannone's work The (Ta)Rot Pack (1968-69) and the subsequent removal of all his works by Roth, from a collective exhibition at the Kunsthalle Bern.For his exhibition titled Freunde, Friends, d'Frunde, legendary curator Harald Szeemann invited Karl Gerstner, Roth, Daniel Spoerri and Andre Thomkins to exhibit artist friends; Roth chose Iannone. The censorship of Iannone, and Roth's protest, eventually led to Harald Szeemann's resignation as the director of the institution. Telling the story of this act of censorship as well as the context of the exhibition in Bern and its iteration in a non-censored version in Dusseldorf, The Story of Bern is emblematic of Iannone's distinctive, explicit and comic-book style, and of her openness about sexuality and the strengthening of female autonomy.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Bradfords figures swim, float and wander through the dark and dreamy landscapes of their canvasesSince the 1970s, painter Katherine Bradford has unapologetically blazed her own path in the art world: painting daily and building a community of like-minded artists in both Maine and New York. Bradford paints with a formal inventiveness and a shifting sense of figure and ground, giving narrative weight to her characters who may appear as heroes or lovers, families or couples, businessmen or isolated individuals. Her chromatic scenes, painted in many transparent layers of acrylic, transmit a light-filled quality and offer metaphorical possibilities as they veer between humor, pathos and abstraction.This reference monograph of her work features an essay by London-based art critic Allie Biswas that reflects on the metaphysical nature of Bradfords work, an interview with fellow artist and writer Daniel Gerwin, a narrative biography text by her children, Laura and Arthur Bradford, that offers a personal look at the artists life and work, and an overview essay by Austrian curator Sandro Droschl. The book compiles over 100 artworks surveying Bradfords paintings from 2015 until today, focusing on her recent series entitled Swimmers and Mother Paintings dealing with her own vision of motherhood and womanhood.Katherine Bradford (born 1942) lives and works in New York City and Brunswick, Maine. She has exhibited at institutions such as the Brooklyn Museum and most recently in a solo exhibition at the Portland Museum of Art, which traveled to the Frye Museum in Seattle. Bradford was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2011 and a Joan Mitchell Fellowship in 2012. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
