Dario Escobar - The Life of the Object

Marquand Books Inc. 2016 ISBN 9780997249255 Acqn 26349
Hb 23x28cm 200pp 80col ills 36.50
Guatemalan-born sculptor Daro Escobar (born 1971) is a contemporary master of the kind of
aesthetic object that also doubles as a revealing critique of globalization. Since the late 1990s he
has mobilized armies of everyday industrial and consumer products--McDonalds cups, cereal
boxes, vulcanized rubber, car bumpers and sports equipment of various types--in order to
construct an ongoing dialogue with the reality of global consumerism. That dialogue, invariably,
has also incorporated an extensive dialogue with modern and contemporary art.
This book covers two decades of this singular artists work, while highlighting profound insights
into the nature of found objects, commodity culture and contemporary arts increasing
identification with the myths and realities of globalization.

Joan Mitchell - Drawing into Painting

Cheim & Read 2017 ISBN 9781944316051 Acqn 26959
Hb 23x30cm 70pp col ills 36.50
Drawing into Painting is a survey of works by Joan Mitchell (192592) on canvas and paper from
1958 through 1992, the year of her death. For Mitchell, drawing and painting were related but
autonomous activities. Her pastels can be as dense as oil paintings, and her oil paintings can be
as light and airy as watercolours. The book includes art from each decade of her career, with a
formal range spanning flurried strokes and gestural lines of rhapsodic colour, to darkly massed
forms and complex, multi-panel formats. Mitchells move to France in 1959, as Mark Rosenthal
writes in his essay, suggests an aesthetic choice whereby she submerged American artistic
developments within a profound embrace of French Impressionism. This decision represented a
departure from the influences and goals of her colleagues in the New York School, and harked
back to her student days at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

which included artists such as Asger Jorn, Pierre Alechinsky, Karel Appel, Constant and
Corneille. Her study is based on numerous documents, conversations and correspondence with

dynamic life in Amsterdam, Paris, and New York with boundless curiosity for the new and
innovative, translating this in his paintings. This book explores Mondrian's life and work in depth,
using the collection of the Gemeentemuseum The Hague as its basis. The museum has the
largest Mondrian collection in the world, with around 300 works which cover every phase of the
artist's impressive career.

Maggi Hambling Edge

Marlborough Fine Art 2017 ISBN 9781909707368 Acqn 27365
Pb 24x30cm 50pp 27ills 26col 12.50
Edge is an exhibition of new paintings and sculpture by Maggi Hambling, widely regarded as one
of Britains most significant and controversial artists. The exhibition follows Maggi Hambling
Touch: works on paper, a retrospective at the British Museum. Hambling has exhibited with
Marlborough for 20 years and this is her eighth solo exhibition with the gallery.
Hamblings work offers a counterweight to the careful irony and self-conscious allusion of much
contemporary art, demanding a direct and unmediated encounter with the viewer. These new
works succeed in in convincing us that we are present at, and indeed become part of, their
making. We are on the edge, confronted by the fragility of existence, both ours and that of the
planet.
The artist has never been afraid of addressing big themes and delivers simultaneous presence of
life and death in her work. In this new series, polar icecaps melt, a trafficker drifts, Aleppo and its
inhabitants fall, ghosts hover and Hamlet questions. Human vulnerability is continually and
viscerally expressed.

Natalie Djurberg And Hans Berg - The Secret Garden

Perimeter Editions 2016 ISBN 9780994388322 Acqn 27375
Artist duo Nathalie Djurberg and Hans Berg create psychologically charged scenarios dealing
with human and animalistic desires through a mix of animation, sculpture, and sound. Djurbergs
film-making uses clay animation to dramatize the basest of human instincts, from jealousy,
revenge and greed, to submission and lust. Taking cues from allegorical myths, narratives
emerge that are rich in symbolic meaning and nightmarish visions. Berg, an electronic musician
and composer, provides the atmospheric and evocative music for the immersive films and
installations. This book is published on the occasion of their first survey exhibition at the
Australian Centre for Contemporary Art.

Hugh Steers - The Complete Paintings, 1983-1994

Visual AIDS 2017 ISBN 9780967842561 Acqn 25911
Hugh Steers: The Complete Paintings is the first publication on the career of American figurative
painter Hugh Steers (196295), who died of AIDS at the age of 32. Committed to figurative
painting at a time when it had fallen out of favour, Steers painted expressionist-realist narratives
of a life shadowed by isolation and mortality, yet infused with wry humour, camp and what Steers
himself called a gorgeous bleakness. Steers consciously merged AIDS, intimacy and the body
into the traditional vocabulary of painting. With his vulnerable subjects depicted in hospital rooms,
bedrooms and bathrooms, Steers engaged with radical ideas about male intimacy, queer politics,
fragility and health care at the height of the AIDS crisis. Featuring more than 600 full-colour
images of Steers paintings on canvas and paper, this volume provides a long-overdue,
expansive view of the artists career and impact.

South African artist William Kentridge can become many things: painter, sculptor, engraver,

apartheid, post-colonialism, history, and the passage of time. This limited edition notebook
consists of drawings and writings with inserted typescripts, plus an original work, numbered and
signed by the artist, and is printed on various formats. Within, Kentridge divulges the codes that
drive his body of work, such as palimpsest and repetition, forming an analogy between a book
and the tree as the source of creation, wherein his fountain pen freely wanders between various
images and associations.

Kimsooja is a South Korean multi-disciplinary conceptual artist; this catalogue marks the occasion
of her site-specific installation and exhibition at CAC Mlaga. Considering her countrys rapid
transformation into a modern economic powerhouse, Kimsoojas work addresses complex
questions of human existence in this process: essential, fragile aspects of life, such as ritual and
ceremony, that are interrupted or sacrificed. In her oeuvre individualism and the role of women
point to themes of respect for others and a sense of (global) humanity as she generates
convergences that stress human emotions without taking borders or places of origin into account.

reveals the way his continued exploration of materiality and innovative language of visual signs
expanded the boundaries of artistic production in the 20th century and beyond, impacting
numerous artists since.

effect the title is simultaneously a decisive moment in accessing the works and their thematic
occupation. [] Its ambivalence allows killed things to emerge from silent things in blunt and

Hb 20x25cm 288pp 250ills 200col 42.75
In the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance a period of unprecedented cultural vitality in Europe,
spurred by a growing interest in classical antiquity and the discovery of distant continents,
precipitated a shift from religious art to that which reflected different ideas about mankind, society,
and belief. People became more mobile, independent, and prosperous, while artists grew more
self-assured, able to develop their own styles. This book presents many aspects of this
transformative European experience through its artworks, with more than 100 highlights from the
lesser-known collections of Amsterdams Rijksmuseum, a wide-ranging overview of five centuries
of flourishing culture.

Japan Modern - Japanese prints from the Elise Wessels Collection

'Japan Modern' presents an overview of Japanese printing in the first half of the twentieth century.
Japan was flourishing in the years after 1900. Modern city culture offered plenty of opportunities,
the landscape changed, the position of women improved, and optimism abounded. At the same
time, the many changes produced feelings of nostalgia. Prints made in this period portray the
turbulent times unlike anything else. Using an ancient wood-carving technique, artists show us
modern life: streets scenes with high-rise buildings, cars, railroads, factories and Japanese
women with modern hairdos dancing and drinking cocktails.

Jacob Dahlgren - From A To Z

Garret Publications 2017 ISBN 9789527222010 Acqn 27318
Jacob Dahlgrens work is concerned with a dialogue between the authoritative singularity of pure
formal abstraction and its position within a variable, complex, and social shared culture. He
devises performative formats that, for a limited time and within a defined space, turn people into
carriers of abstract art, lending it a new symbolic potential through the contradictory facets of
urban culture. This encyclopaedia of sorts presents the breadth and diversity of his oeuvre, with
one or multiple projects represented by each letter of the alphabet. Interspersed in this selection
are critical essays that serve to illuminate the concepts and motivations behind Dahlgrens prolific
output.

Hercules Segers - Painter Etcher (2 Vols In Slipcase)

Hb 24x31cm 760pp col ills 134
Hercules Segers may be art history's greatest unknown artist. Active in early 17th-century
Holland just before Rembrandt, he created otherworldly landscapes of astonishing originality
which today are viewed as radical anticipations of modernism. Using an array of innovative
techniques that still puzzle scholars (including his famous sugar lift etching method), Segers
created extraordinarily resonant, melancholic landscapes characterized by luscious, soft lines,
that resemble nothing by his contemporaries and little that has followed since.

truth of reality and seeks to look beyond that which unites us to the phenomenal world and to one
another. With a foreword by the artist, plus critical analyses by Nancy Princenthal and Bruno
