The Andreas Adam Collection

By Charles Wylie

£15.00 26 Jan 2012 Paperback Yale University Press

Sigmar Polke (b. 1941) has experimented with a wide range of styles and subject matter, bringing together imagery from contradictory and unexpected sources, merging the historical and contemporary, and using a variety of different materials and techniques. This catalogue features Polke's major four-painting cycle, "The Dream of Menelaus," one of the artist's most beautiful and challenging. Citing the story of Menelaus, the mythical Greek hero whose wife Helen's abduction started the Trojan War, Polke's cycle alludes to eternal themes of love and war with a typically elusive yet analytic beauty. Here Polke has merged classical and contemporary images to reveal unexpected parallels between mythical histories and present-day realities, all the while creating four paintings of an unsurpassed mastery of the painting medium itself.

Expressions from the Swiss Mountains

By Beat Stutzer

Ernst Kirchner, seminal expressionist painter and founding member of the influential artists’ collective Die Brü cke, came to the Swiss mountains during World War I to recuperate from a nervous breakdown. "Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and his Friends" is the first book to explore how Kirchner became a role model, teacher, and mentor for younger artists during his time in Davos.
The momentous artistic exchange between Kirchner and his young admirers— whose ranks included the German Philipp Bauknecht, the Dutch Jan Wiegers, and the members of the Swiss Gruppe Rot-Blau— established a dialogue that had a formative influence on the direction of European art in the twentieth century. This matchless volume provides a record of the extraordinary bond that developed between a legendary— yet ailing— artist and the up-and-coming Gruppe Rot-Blaue in Switzerland.

Blue

14 Oct 2011 00:00:00 GMT

By Scott Short

£17.50 14 Oct 2011 Paperback WhiteWalls, Inc

Chicago-based painter Scott Short has a very simple, yet highly refined method of arriving at his mesmerizing abstract compositions. He places a piece of colored construction paper on the scanning bed of a black-and-white photocopier and makes a photocopy. Then he makes a photocopy of that photocopy. He repeats the process, moving one generation further from his original each time, not quite ad infinitum, but at least a few hundred times.
The resulting image renders the original monochrome of the construction paper an arresting field of intricately textured black-and-white static. Produced in conjunction with an exhibition of Short's work at the Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago, "Blue "presents all the steps involved in the creation of a single piece of this art. In its reconstruction of Short's method of composition, "Blue" is essentially an artist's workbook, explanatory yet hypnotic, and it will appeal to all fans of abstract contemporary art.

Sign Painting Project

By Francis Alys, Theodora Vischer

£38.00 03 Oct 2011 Hardback Steidl Publishers

The Belgian-born conceptual painter and artistic interventionist Francis Alys developed "The Sign Painting Project" over a period of four years. He began by painting fairly small canvases depicting people and objects in the flat, brightly-colored manner of billboard advertisements. The artist, who currently lives in Mexico, then asked local sign-painters Juan Garcia, Enrique Huerta and Emilio Rivera to copy and enlarge his paintings. The result of the artists' combined labors is a set of 120 paintings that reveal variations on particular themes and that inevitably provoke questions about collaboration, authorship and originality. This book, which features 300 color plates, is a catalogue raisonne of that project.

Inflation

By Paul McCarthy

£42.00 25 Jul 2011 Hardback Steidl Publishers

This volume presents the first comprehensive survey of Paul McCarthy's large-scale inflatable sculptures. McCarthy, born in 1945 in Salt Lake City and based in the Los Angeles area, where he taught at UCLA for many years, first came to public notice in the 1970s with his shockingly scatological and strangely hypnotic performances and videos; he's now a veteran of solo exhibits at Tate Modern and The Museum of Modern Art, New York, among many other world-class institutions of art. Since the mid-1980s, he has been creating increasingly complex and influential installations and videos, as well as a broad portfolio of sculptures and large-scale, outdoor blow-up figures. This volume--which contains 15 giant posters housed in a shopping bag, 12 notebooks and a text booklet--illustrates every McCarthy inflatable to date, including important pieces such as "Daddies Ketchup Bottle" (2003) and a significant number of newly commissioned works.

On Her Road

By Swirc, Patrick

£18.00 25 Jul 2011 Hardback Steidl Publishers

"It was in Paris, the day before I left. A first kiss, the first day of April, the taste of her lips and words close to my mouth: 'See you soon, somewhere in China.' She is Sephardic, lives in China and is studying the traces of the country's Jewish past. I am half-Jewish through my father and half-Catholic through my mother. When asked if my name was Jewish I always answered: 'No, why?' Yet deep inside, I feel Jewish. A few weeks after that first kiss, I traveled to Kirghizstan as planned. West China was only a few hours away by bus. Using phone text messages, she guided me around China, sometimes through sinister cities, one of which Jews had inhabited during the twelfth century. It was on her road that I would reconnect with my origins."
Patrick Swirc studied photography in Switzerland but left to follow a striptease artist to Paris. He has since contributed covers to "Elle" and "Time."

Ical

£26.00 01 Jun 2011 Paperback Buchhandlung Walther Konig GmbH & Co. KG. Abt. Verlag

The artist and professor Michael Krebber recently invited his colleagues Gareth James, John Kelsey and Josef Strau to participate in an exhibition with the title Ical Krbbr Prdly Prsnts Gart Jas, Jon Klsy, Josf Stra. Minus a few of the necessary letters, the artists' names became a wall painting transformed into concrete poetry. As the exhibition freed itself from the curator's reins, the resulting exhibition catalogue also goes against conventional form and order. For example, a foreword by the editor turns out to be an artist's improvised speech on the topic of Puberty in Painting: "Now I have written: I can't decide any longer for one of these points of views or non-points of views." Artworks are not presented in groups by artist, but rather by associative links of picture strips, found-object texts, prose, drawings and collages.

Artists Against the War

20 Jan 2011 00:00:00 GMT

By Steve Brodner

£14.99 20 Jan 2011 Hardback Underwood Books Inc

Based on the Society of Illustrators' exhibit "Artists Against the War," this book of the same name draws from the vibrant history of graphic protest to demonstrate the many ways that illustrators -- in editorial cartoons, comics, magazine illustrations, and elsewhere -- have reflected on the representations and misrepresentations of war, especially the war in Iraq. Works by Ralph Steadman, Wendy Popp, Nathan Fox, Burt Silverman, Guy Billout, and other renowned illustrators not only bridge the gap between high art and illustration; they testify to the ability of images to examine complex issues in a way that connects with broad numbers of people. In doing so, they reveal how the world of commercial illustration offers a model for the advancement of contemporary fine art.

A Doll's House

By Ina Johannesen, Selene Wendt

£28.00 17 Jan 2011 Hardback Skira

More than 30 years ago the Norwegian artist Marianne Heske found a large box of papier-mache doll heads at a Paris flea market; she was intrigued by the glamour of early-twentieth-century film stars she saw in the doll's faces, and soon knew they would figure in her works. These works were exhibited when Heske was invited to participate in the international celebration of the centenary of Ibsen's birth, Ibsen Year 2006. The celebration in Oslo, Norway, includes roles for Heske's dolls in her installation dedicated to Ibsen's A Doll's House, and also includes Heske's early video work and several early lithographs, works that are fundamental to her productions with the dolls. Heske's A Doll's House installation is a collaborative project with the National Musuem of Art, Architecture and Design, Oslo, and will subsequently be shown in Rome and New York City.
