Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Wolfgang Beltracchi is a phenomenon of the international art world. His name is inextricably entwined with one of the greatest upheavals in the global art market. Emulating numerous world-famous artists, he developed and painted new paintings, continued their narrations and biography, and concluded them with a forged signature. His wife Helene Beltracchi then smuggled them onto the art market. Many experts were deceived by Beltracchi's stupendous skill and auctioneers cast many doubts aside in the interests of insatiable market demand, selling the paintings as authentic works by the purported artists. Reading the artistic handwriting of a painting requires an exceptional willingness and ability to be able to empathise and identify with the artist, until you "can feel what the other feels" (Wolfgang Beltracchi). Through extensive discussions with the painter and his wife, the psychoanalyst Jeannette Fischer explored this capability that is so pronounced for Beltracchi. In her new book, she places this in relation to the disappearance of Beltracchi's own signature. As with her previous highly successful book about the performance artist Marina Abramovic, Jeannette Fischer has created an exceptionally insightful portrait of a fascinating artist personality. AUTHOR: Jeannette Fischer has been practicing for more than 30 years as a Freudian psychoanalyst in Zurich, with a special focus on the topics of violence, power, and powerlessness.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In the summer 2015, famous performance artist Marina Abramovic and psychanalyst Jeannette Fischer spent four days together at Abramovics house in the Hudson Valley. Associating freely, they took a psychoanalytical perspective for a lengthy exploration of Abramovics biography and art and their interrelation.???Abramovic went into this discussion in hopes of reaching a better understanding of herself, her personality, and her work. Conversations with artists are widely available, she notes, but a chance to use psychoanalysis to put an artists life and work in context is much rarer. The resulting book is neither a therapists report nor a Fischers analysis of Abramovic. Rather, it is a search for understanding conducted by the pair, looking for the structures and dynamics that underlie Abramovics life and art. The dialogues are presented along with Fischers comments on them and images of some of Abramovics performances that are referred to in the discussion. An account of Marina Abramovic's dialogue with psychoanalyst Jeannette Fischer, offering an understanding of the underlying structures and dynamics of Abramovic's extraordinary performances.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. French sculptor Aristide Maillol (18611944) is sometimes referred to as the "Cezanne of sculpture" as he, like Paul Cezanne in painting, paved the way for abstraction. Though Maillol began as a painter, he produced an impressive collection of sculptures, many featuring women, over the course of his career. This book, published in conjunction with a comprehensive Maillol exhibition at the Kunsthaus Zuerich, examines how the male gaze operates in Maillol's art and the changing perceptions of this gaze from the 19th century to today. A photo essay by Franca Candrian contrasts Maillol's Venus au collier with works by modern and contemporary women artists from the Kunsthaus Zuerich's collection. An essay by feminist art historian and curator Catherine McCormack explores the presence of art depicting female nudes in contemporary museums. Supplemented by an introduction by Philippe Buettner, curator of Kunsthaus Zuerich's permanent collection, the book thus offers a fresh and unique view of Maillol and his art.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. While he was working to complete the Allmannajuvet Zinc Mine Museum in southern Norway in 2016, Swiss architect Peter Zumthor asked Norwegian architectural historian Mari Lending to engage in a dialogue about the project. In meandering, impressionistic style, and drawing on their favorite writers, such as Johann Peter Hebel, Stendhal, Nabokov, and T. S. Eliot, their exchanges explore how history, time, and temporalities reverberate across Zumthors oeuvre. Looking back, Zumthor ponders on how a feeling of history has informed his attempts at emotional reconstruction by means of building, from architectural interventions in dramatic landscapes to his design for the redevelopment of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, which conceived the building on a suitably grand urban scale.This small, beautifully designed book records the conversation between Zumthor and Lending, accompanied by photographs taken by the renowned Swiss architectural photographer Helene Binet. The resulting book is a surprisingly revelatory view of one of the most interesting and restlessly creative architects of our era. Peter Zumthor in dialogue with Mari Lending explores how history, time and temporalities reverberates across his oeuvre, a feeling of history has informed his continuous attempts of emotional reconstruction by means of building.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. British-born artist Rachel Lumsden paints primarily large-format figurative paintings that are characterised by intensely atmospheric pictorial spaces. Her imagery coalesces on the canvas through a virtuoso handling of paint, evoking visual narratives which come unexpectedly close and yet cannot be entirely grasped. In her book Igniting Penguins: On Painting Now, Lumsden invites the reader on an entertaining excursion into the art world and to the core of painting itself. Along the way we are introduced to some of art's powerful and quirky gatekeepers, are baffled by art's gender roles, and we discover what makes figurative painting the sexy form of quantum physics. Lumsden's essay is both a pamphlet and a brief autobiography. And, above all, it is a blazing declaration of love for painting. AUTHOR: Rachel Lumsden, born 1968 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, has been living and working in Switzerland since 2002. She studied visual art at Nottingham Trent University and the Royal Academy Schools in London and taught painting at Lucerne School of Art and Design 2007 19. SELLING POINTS: .

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Swiss artist duo Sabina Lang and Daniel Baumann's catalogue of models. Swiss artists Sabina Lang and Daniel Baumann have been collaborating since 1990, gaining much international recognition as Lang/Baumann (or L/B). Their collaborative work comprises installations, sculptures, murals, and floor paintings, as well as architectural interventions. Models play a key role in their creative process. This book brings together for the first time all the models that L/B have made for the projects they have pursued over 33 years. It thus forms a complete catalogue of their oeuvre to date in miniature format, featuring also those projects that were never developed beyond the model stage. A model can serve three purposes: three-dimensional sketch, test of a concept, or presentation. L/B use all three types. The sketch model is quickly made, fragile, and merely manifests a thought. The working model is used to try to test formal or technical details. The presentation model is made to show the result once the design process is complete, and this is usually elaborately built. Some 120 colour illustrations are supplemented by two essays on iconography in Lang/Baumann's work and on the playful aspect of model making. A conversation with Sabina Lang and Daniel Baumann rounds off the book. AUTHORS: Lilia and David Glanzmann are joint directors of Museum Zeughaus Teufen in Switzerland. SELLING POINTS: .

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Swiss artist Sophie Taeuber-Arp (18891943) was a pioneer of the twentieth-century avant-garde. Remarkably versatile and immensely gifted, she produced an oeuvre that encompasses the entire range of the modernist movement, from applied and fine art and dance to architecture, interior design, and teaching.This volume offers a close look at one of Taeuber-Arps most important works, Equlibre. Created in 1931, it marked the beginning of Taeuber-Arps career as an accomplished painter, as she moved away from figuration to focus on shape and color. Circle, square, and rectangle would define her future vocabulary. While in her earlier textiles she had used multiple shades and hues, she now reduced her palette to primary colors alongside black and white, signaling a markedly changed sense of color. The paintings title, assigned after Taeuber-Arps death, emphasizes her constant striving for an ideal balance of color, shape, and indeed all the elements in her paintings. From there, she sets out to explore movement, circles, and spaces, and later gradations and lines. Equilibre, a landmark of Taeuber-Arps oeuvre, looks ahead to her future subject matter, while at the same time referencing her earlier work; this volume helps us understand Equilibre, and, through it, the entirety of Taeuber-Arps career. A concise introduction to Sophie Taeuber-Arp's Equilibre, a key part of her oeuvre in painting and a landmark in Swiss art history. Text in English and German.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Representing vision is a core theme in the art of Markus Raetz (19412020). The imitation of a binocular field of vision, which he chose for Zeemansblik, is as simple as it is convincing. Raetz created some 20 versions of this relief, made of painted and later of polished zinc sheet, in various dimensions. The Dutch term zeemansblik (sailor's view) can be translated as a view of the sea, yet blik in Dutch also means sheet metal. Raetz's wordplay refers objectively to the material and at the same time invites an interpretation of the horizontal fold in the plate as a sea horizon. Light reflections on the curved blank material change with the viewer's moving point of view, suggesting changing weather. A simple, abstract object on the wall thus becomes a seascape without painting, with the longing motif of looking into a blue distance. In this book, art historian Franz Mueller explores the complexity behind the apparent simplicity of Markus Raetz's Zeemansblik, highlighting what makes the relief a landmark of Swiss art. Text in English and German.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. In the 1920s, German-Swiss artist Paul Klee (18791940) began his long-lasting engagement with polyphonic art - multi-voiced way of painting analogous to music. A relentless experimenter, Klee began these studies while teaching at the Bauhaus in Dessau, developed them further during his tenure at the art academy in Duesseldorf, and brought them to conclusion after his return to Switzerland in 1933. In this book, distinguished art historian Oskar Baetschmann explores Klee's seminal painting Ad Parnassum (1932). Painted shortly after the artist's departure from the Bauhaus, it symbolises a new era, also one of Klee's own self-discovery. Baetschmann documents how the artist strove for a connection of music and painting in his colour hues and in the rhythmic movement of coloured dots. Richly illustrated, this book places Klee's polyphonic understanding of art in an art-historical context by using this key work and offers insight into the synesthetic thinking that emerged in the art world during that time. Text in English and German. AUTHOR: Oskar Baetschmann is professor emeritus of early modern art history at University of Bern. He was a member of the Paul Klee Foundation and co-initiator of the Catologue raisonne of the artist published from 1998 to 2004. SELLING POINTS: .

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Swiss artist Franz Gertsch, born in 1930, is one of the most important exponents of photorealism worldwide. Yet unlike many of his fellow artists, he takes liberties when translating a photograph into one of his large-format paintings or prints, thus animating his depictions of human faces or landscapes.This volume offers a close look at a single key work by Gertsch, Rueschegg, created in 1988.It was both his first attempt in woodcut for a landscape and his first large-format work in that genre. Having abandoned painting a few years earlier, he developed a special woodcut technique, and, having worked in portraiture almost exclusively for many years, Gertsch he used that technique to begin an exploration of nature.Starting from a view of his garden in the Swiss village of Rueschegg, Gertsch singled out some of its elements, such as a footpath, rocks, shrubs and trees, grass and leaves, taking them as individual motifs first for woodcuts and later for monumental portraits of such pieces of nature. Thus, Rueschegg also stands for Gertschs movement away from the representation of humans to that of nature, just as it links his later work with the landscape studies of his early years. Franz Gertsch is one of the most distinguished exponents of photo-realism worldwide. This book offers an concise introduction to his large-format print Rueschegg, a key part of his oeuvre and a landmark of Swiss art history. Text in English and German.
