Félix González-Torres, one of the most influential artists of his generation, lived and worked resolutely according to his own democratic ideology, determined to "make this a better place for everyone." Combining principles of Conceptual Art, minimalism and political activism, González-Torres' arsenal included public billboards, giveaway piles of candy or posters and ordinary objects (clocks, mirrors, light fixtures) often used to startling effect. His work challenged notions of public and private space, originality, authorship and the authoritative structure in which he functioned. With this volume, now in its second edition, Gonzalez-Torres's editor Julie Ault has amassed a comprehensive overview of this important artist. In the spirit of the artist's method, Ault rethinks the very idea of what a monograph should be. The book contains texts by Robert Storr and Miwon Kwon, among other notables, as well as significant critical essays, exhibition statements, transcripts from lectures, personal correspondence and writings that influenced González-Torres and his work. Ample visual documentation adds another decisive layer of content. We see works not just in their finality, but often witness their transformation over a lifespan. EB; 10.8 X 8.6 X 1.4 inches; 400 pages.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Hardcover. 4to. Steidl/Dangin, Gottingen, Germany. 2006. 25 un-numbered pages with ills. , printed recto only, interleaved with an equal number of glassine leaves imprinted with the poetry. #71 of a limited edition of 700 copies. Brand new and still sealed in the original publisher's box. "Désir d'une femme pour un homme", poèmes futiles can be read as an intimate conversation between a man and a woman in words and images. It is also a collection of poems and drawings that began, strangely enough, with a fashion story. In the hands of Mathias Augustyniak, one half of the design duo M/M Paris, drawing is a powerful and introspective tool, a link between hidden worlds. As a Creative Director, Augustyniak often employs drawing to bring out the hidden message in photography. In the case of "Libertine," a subliminally erotic fashion story by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, Augustyniak's subconscious caught up with him, ultimately leading him on a 13-day journey of the mind and the soul. The sexually explicit yet playfully childlike drawings gathered here track the path of that journey--a very personal, though not solitary or self-centered experience. Augustyniak in turn passed the drawings on to the French novelist Stéphanie Cohen and commissioned the set of accompanying poems. Published in both French and English, the spare, enigmatic, and highly charged verse stands as a body of work all its own. In other words, the drawings don't necessarily illustrate the poems, just as the poems don't necessarily clarify the drawings. The two are in conversation and sometimes even contradiction. EB; 15.0 X 11.2 X 0.6 inches; 52 pages.

African portraitist Seydou Keïta lived in Bamako, Mali, then part of the colony of French Sudan and a bustling transportation hub on the route to Dakar, from 1921 to 2001. A self-taught photographer, with a Kodak Brownie given to him by his uncle, Keita took up photography at the age of fourteen, he opened a studio in 1948 and specialized in portraiture. Seydou Keïta s photographs eloquently portray Bamako society during its era of transition from a cosmopolitan French colony to an independent capital. Whether photographing single individuals, families, or professional associations, Keïta balanced a strict sense of formality with a remarkable level of intimacy with his subjects. Like many professional photographers, he furnished his studio with numerous props, from backdrops and costumes, to Vespas and luxury cars. He would renew these props every few years, which later allowed him to establish a chronology for his work He worked intuitively, reinventing portrait photography through his search for extreme precision. In 1962 the newly installed Socialist government made Keïta its official photographer; shortly thereafter he closed down his studio, although he remained active until his retirement in 1977. His archive of over 10,000 negatives was gradually brought to light in the early 1990s; Keïta has since achieved international recognition. Inventive and highly modern, his emphasis on the essential components of portrait photography light, subject, framing firmly establishes Keïta among the twentieth-century masters of the genre.
