Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A compelling collection of interviews that sheds light on many different aspects of Isabelle Cornaro's art and deepens the understanding of the different facets of her work. Isabelle Cornaro, based in Paris and Geneva, holds degrees in art history and visual arts. She has a strong interest in experimental cinema and devotes herself to the narrative, symbolic, and economic origins of things.

Through them, readers come to understand the sources from which they draw inspiration, the themes in their work, and their view of the world. Edited by Julie Enckell, Federica Martini, and Sarah Burkhalter and bringing together a wide range of viewpoints, the On Words series adds a new narrative to polyphonic art history as told by those who actively shape it. Text in English and French. AUTHORS: Julie Enckell is an art historian and a director at HEAD-Geneve, where she heads the Cultural Development Department. Federica Martini is an art historian and curator and heads the Visual Arts department at EDHEA in Sierre, Switzerland. She is also a visiting scholar at London's University of the Arts.

Libro
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: . A unique, personal reflection on painting as an artistic expression in the 21st century . An entertaining excursion into the art world and to the core of painting itself 120 colour illustrations This book is a unique, personal reflection on painting as an artistic expression in the 21st century.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. As a boy, photographer and filmmaker Juerg Hassler passed the studio of sculptor Hans Josephsohn every day on his way to school. Watching the artist working captivated him, and once he had finished school in the late 1950s, Hassler began working as Josephsohn's assistant and apprentice, eventually becoming a sculptor himself. After studying photography and taking up filmmaking as well, he occupied himself with Josephsohn's sculptural work also with the camera, resulting in countless images and the film portrait Josephsohn: Stein des Anstosses (Josephsohn: Bone of Contention), which was released in 1977. This new book features a selection of photographs by Jurg Hassler, who predominantly works in black-and-white. Many of them have single sculptures by Hans Josephsohn as a motif, highlighting the artist's strong archaic expressiveness. Nina Keel's essay takes a closer look at the context of Hassler's photographic engagement with the art of his teacher. AUTHOR: The Kesselhaus Josephsohn in St. Gallen, Switzerland, is an exhibition space dedicated to the work of Hans Josephsohn. 134 colour illustrations A unique photographic account of the work of Swiss sculptor Hans Josephsohn, through the eye of his former apprentice.

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: . An unusual catalogue of renowned Swiss artist duo Lang/Baumann's collaborative work . Presents for the first time the complete models that Lang/Baumann have made for their joint projects since 1990, including the never-realised ones 119 colour, 3 b/w illustrations An unusual catalogue of renowned Swiss artist duo Lang/Baumanns collaborative work.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Since it was first published in 1972, Learning from Las Vegas has become a classic in the theory of architecture and one of the most influential architecture texts of the 20th century. The treatise by Robert Venturi, Denise Scott Brown and Steven Izenour enjoys a reputation as a signal work of postmodernism in architecture and urban planning. None of the book's editions have ever featured high-quality colour images the authors produced to illustrate their argument. Las Vegas Studio, originally published in hardback in 2008, was the first publication ever to present these significant photographs in large colour reproductions. Now available again in a new paperback edition, this unique book features 102 of these iconic images and film stills, alongside essays by Swiss scholars Stanislaus von Moos and Hans Ulrich Obrist exploring how the pictures contemplate the phenomenon of the modern city. Also included is a discussion with Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas and Swiss artist Peter Fischli that speaks to the strong and lasting influence these images still have on contemporary art and movies.Hilar Stadler, born 1963, read art history and is director of Museum im Bellpark in Kriens, near Lucerne, Switzerland. Martino Stierli, born 1974, has been appointed the MoMA s Philip Johnson Chief Curator of Architecture and Design as of March 2015. He has been a senior research assistant at ETH Zurich's Institute for the History and Theory of Architecture (gta) 2011 to 2012, a Fellow of the Getty Institute in Los Angeles in 2012, and an SNSF Professor for the History of Architecture and Art at University of Zurich since 2012. The images within Learning from Las Vegas, one of the most influential 20th century architectural texts, are a key element of the field research carried out by Venturi, Scott Brown and Izenour, and here they appear in large size, in colour and with top-quality printing.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. On the slope of a gentle hill on the northern boundary of the Po basin in Northern Italy stands a remarkable house. A modernist villa in the middle of a park, with its metallic facade shining above an enormous circular base of reddish stone. The extraordinary structure of the Casa Girasole (The Sunflower) follows the way of the sun across the sky - and the inhabitants' vista over the surrounding landscape - during the day, driven by an electric motor that can turn the entire house by 3600. It was built in the early 1930s by the Italian architects Angelo Invernizzi and Ettore Fagiuoli and is an important example of Italian Futurismo in architecture. Preserved entirely in its original state, including the original furniture and curtains, it makes traceable the fascination for modern technology, but also the already slightly broken optimism, of that period. The documentary film I Girasole: A House Near Verona by Christoph Schaub and Marcel Meili enables the viewer to take part in a day at the house that turns around its vertical axis once. The movie introduces both the architecture and atmosphere of the building, its various rooms, furnishings and decoration. It gives a memoir of the house's history and of the time and feeling of life in which it was conceived. The film was awarded the 1st prize at the 1995 biennale Film and Architecture in Graz (Austria). The DVD is complemented by a booklet with introductory essays and illustrations. Film in original Italian version and alternative versions with English, German and French subtitles. Text in booklet in English and German. AUTHORS: Christoph Schaub, born 1958 in Zurich, is one of Switzerland's most eminent film directors. Besides of many drama and comedy movies and documentary films on variuos subjects he has realised several architecture films, featuring architects such as Peter Zumthor, Santiago Calatrava, Herzog & de Meuron, Marcel Meili and Markus Peter, or the Brazilian capital Brasilia. Marcel Meili, born 1953, is senior partner of Meili Peter Architects, Zurich, and professor for urban planning at the ETH Studio Basel, Contemporary City Institute. SELLING POINTS: . Award-winning documentary film on an extraordinary experimental building . Casa Girasole is an important example of Italian Futurismo in architecture . The film has been shown at festivals but has not been available on VHS or DVD before 16 colour, 10 b/w illustrations Award-winning film documentary on an experimental house in Northern Italy from the 1930s - Casa Girasole is an important example of Italian Futurismo in architecture.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A pioneer of the Nouvelle Tapisserie (New Tapestry) movement, Polish artist Magdalena Abakanowicz (19302017) revolutionised the practice of weaving in the 1960s. She elevated this craft to the status of sculptural expression, using the possibilities of organic fibers such as wool, sisal, and linen as living, malleable materials to realise her artistic vision based on the observation of nature and man. Her spectacular wall-mounted and spatial woven works made her name internationally and marked several editions of the Biennale of Tapestry, held in the Swiss city of Lausanne between 1962 and 1995.This French-language book illuminates the crucial role that Lausanne played at the beginning of Abakanowiczs international career and in her artistic explorations. Her reflections and creative paths are juxtaposed with places and encounters in Lausanne and the rest of Switzerland: the Bienniale of Tapestry and the Alice Pauli Gallery, local patrons and collectors of art, scholars, and friends.Text in French.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Poetic, radical, and ironic: Hannah Hoech's montages and the visual culture of Modernism. Hannah Hoech (18891978) moved between differing worlds: as an editorial assistant with a major Berlin-based magazine publisher, and as the only woman who could hold her own in the German capital's vibrant Dada scene of the 1920s. Hoech broke with the traditions of representation and vision. Her works dissected a world marked by the catastrophe of the Great War and an intense consumer culture, and reassembled it in revolutionary, poetic, and often ironic ways. Hoech kept to her artistic means and her poetic-radical imagination, shimmering between social observation and dream world, even in the post-WWII period. Scissors and glue were the weapons of her art of montage, of which she was a co-inventor. Cutting and montage also shaped film, still a new medium in the 1920s, which strongly influenced Hoech's art: she understood her assembled pictures as static films. This richly illustrated and expertly annotated book explores comprehensively for the first time Hoech's fascination with film and the visual culture of the modern industrial age. It demonstrates how montage evolved in a field of tension between artistic experimentation, commercial exploitation, and political appropriation.

Libro
Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The previously unpublished correspondence between Alberto Giacometti and his family. Alberto Giacometti (19011966), one of the most significant figures in 20th-century art, was throughout his life closely attached to his family, and in particular to his parents Giovanni and Annetta Giacometti, in their native Swiss village of Stampa. At least once a week he wrote to his parents to keep them up-to-date on everything important to him, maintaining this routine even when a telephone was installed at their house in the remote Val Bregaglia. Their entire correspondence comprises more than 1,000 letters. For the first time ever, excerpts from this body of documents are now published in this volume. They reveal fascinating insights into this close family relationship and the manifold exchanges about core issues of Alberto's life and work as an artist. The letters tell of his artistic education in Switzerland and the early years in Paris - his studies at the art academy and encounters with the avant-garde, his joining with and later turning away from the Surrealist movement - as well as of his search for a new figuration between 1935 and 1946. Thus, the book provides entirely new knowledge about the evolution and circumstances of one of Modernity's greatest artists. AUTHOR: Casimiro Di Crescenzo is a Venice-based art historian, writer, and curator, and a renowned specialist on Alberto Giacometti and his art. SELLING POINTS: . First publication of Alberto Giacometti's family letters . Features also many of the never-before published replies by Alberto's parents, Giovanni and Annetta Giacometti .

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Luminous, with a silken glow and soft to the touch, yet harder than steel, created by nature and shaped by human hand: no other material has been more highly valued in China for millennia than jade. Since humanity's earliest days, magical properties have been attributed to the mineral. As a burial gift it confers immortality and is said to improve health when given as medicine, as a talisman it bestows good fortune and protection. It is hardly surprising that jade objects became sought-after collectables as early as the 10th century. Zurich's Museum Rietberg is home to an exquisite collection of Chinese jade objects spanning four millennia. In his striking images, Zurich-based photographer Felix Streuli brings them to life and makes them glow. The images reveal the most intricate details and make these works of art almost tangible to the viewer. This book features around 60 of Streuli's outstanding photographs, supplemented with concise texts on the objects they show and an introduction to the history of Chinese jade art. Interspersed short stories and poems revolving around the mythical gemstone and a reflection on the photographer's gaze round out this carefully designed picture book. Text in English and German. AUTHORS: Alexandra von Przychowski is a scholar of art history and sinology and curator of Chinese art at the Museum Rietberg in Zurich. Felix Streuli is a Zurich-based freelance photographer.
