Download or read book Andy Warhol Knives written by Andy Warhol and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than any other artist, Andy Warhol had a knack for elevating the images and objects of ordinary life into artifacts of a collective consciousness. In the early 1980s Warhol produced a series of paintings separately depicting guns, knives, and as critic Robert Rosenblum notes in his introduction, such works reflected the dark side of Warhol's mirror of America: "while creating an inventory of...superstars and supermarket favorites, (Warhol) also compiled an anthology of the American way of death, from car crashes and race riots to the electric chair itself". Seen together the knives are hunting and seductive.

Download or read book Procession written by David Acton and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2015-11-13 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This beautifully illustrated catalogue accompanies the first major museum retrospective of the painter Norman Lewis (1909Ð1979). Lewis was the sole African American artist of his generation who became committed to issues of abstraction at the start of his career and continued to explore them over its entire trajectory. His art derived inspiration from music (jazz and classical) and nature (seasonal change, plant forms, the sea). Also central to his work were the dramatic confrontations of the civil rights movement, in which he was an active participant among the New York art scene. Bridging the Harlem Renaissance, Abstract Expressionism, and beyond, Lewis is a crucial figure in American abstraction whose reinsertion into the discourse further opens the field for recognition of the contributions of artists of color. Bringing much-needed attention to LewisÕs output and significance in the history of American art, Procession is a milestone in Lewis scholarship and a vital resource for future study of the artist and abstraction in his period. Published in association with Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia. Exhibition dates: Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia: November 13, 2015ÐApril 3, 2016 Amon Carter Museum of American Art, Fort Worth: June 4ÐAugust 21, 2016 Chicago Cultural Center: September 17, 2016ÐJanuary 8, 2017 Ê

Book Synopsis Seven Days in the Art World by : Sarah Thornton
Download or read book Seven Days in the Art World written by Sarah Thornton and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2008-11-17 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fly-on-the-wall account of the smart and strange subcultures that make, trade, curate, collect, and hype contemporary art. The art market has been booming. Museum attendance is surging. More people than ever call themselves artists. Contemporary art has become a mass entertainment, a luxury good, a job description, and, for some, a kind of alternative religion. In a series of beautifully paced narratives, Sarah Thornton investigates the drama of a Christie's auction, the workings in Takashi Murakami's studios, the elite at the Basel Art Fair, the eccentricities of Artforum magazine, the competition behind an important art prize, life in a notorious art-school seminar, and the wonderland of the Venice Biennale. She reveals the new dynamics of creativity, taste, status, money, and the search for meaning in life. A judicious and juicy account of the institutions that have the power to shape art history, based on hundreds of interviews with high-profile players, Thornton's entertaining ethnography will change the way you look at contemporary culture.

Download or read book Alberto Burri written by Emily Braun and published by Guggenheim Museum Publications. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published to accompany a major retrospective exhibition - the first in the United States in more than 35 years and the most comprehensive ever mounted - this title showcases the pioneering work of Italian artist Alberto Burri (1915-1995). Exploring the beauty and complexity of Burri's process-based works, the exhibition positions the artist as a central and singular protagonist of postwar art. Burri is best known for his series of Sacchi (sacks) made of stitched and patched remnants of torn burlap bags, often combined with fragments of discarded clothing. Far less familiar are his other series, which this exhibition represents in depth: Catrami (tars), Gobbi (hunchbacks), Muffe (molds), Bianchi (whites), Legni (woods), Ferri (irons), Combustioni plastiche (plastic combustions), Cretti and Cellotex works. Burri's work both demolished and reconfigured the Western pictorial tradition, while reconceptualizing modernist collage. Using unconventional materials, he moved beyond the painted surfaces and mark making of American Abstract Expressionism and European Art Informel. Burri's unprecedented approaches to manipulating humble substances - and his abject picture-objects - also profoundly influenced Arte Povera, Neo-Dada and Process art.

Download or read book New Waves written by Marta Gnyp and published by Skira. This book was released on 2021-02 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leading trailblazers in contemporary art reflect on the transformations in ideology and practice that shape today's art market In New Waves, Dutch art historian Marta Gnyp interviews a number of artists and curators about contemporary art's shifting landscape. Her inquest is divided into five chapters that each address a subject of major change in recent years. "Rewriting the Canon" details the rediscovery and revaluation of several postwar artists including painters Joan Semmel, Stanley Whitney and Claudette Johnson. In "Extending New Media," artists Cory Arcangel and Alex da Corte discuss the creative possibilities posed by new technology. "New Approaches to Truth and Morality" sees installation artist Jordon Wolfson and photographer Mohamed Bourouissa reflect on the ethics of art making. "New Classic Art" examines the practices of four artists--Claire Tabouret, Adriana Varejão, Daniel Richter and Jenny Saville--whose work provides a contemporary spin on the classical art tradition. Finally, Gnyp speaks to several curators, collectors and museum directors to discuss the evolving art market in the 21st century.
