Book excerpt: "With a rigorous approach and self-imposed limitations to both scale and composition, Tomma Abts (b. 1967) has reinvigorated painterly abstraction and its relevance within contemporary art. Using a fixed canvas size and a vertical format, Abts deploys basic formal elements such as arcs, circles, planes, and stripes to create powerful works that are at once subtle and eccentric. This extraordinary book, designed in collaboration with the artist herself, is a substantial and deeply insightful treatment of her career to date and features sixty works made over the past decade. Essays not only contextualize Abts's work within an art-historical framework of methods, process, and style, but also examine her paintings' philosophical and psychological dimensions and their embodiment of a creative process that transcends the specifics of any particular work. The beautifully designed and illustrated exhibition catalogue examines both the art-historical framework of Tomma Abts's painting as well as its deep philosophical and psychological dimensions. James Rondeau is president and Eloise W. Martin Director of the Art Institute of Chicago. Lizzie Carey-Thomas is head of programs at the Serpentine Galleries in London. Kate Nesin is an independent art historian. Juliane Rebentisch is a professor of philosophy and aesthetics at the Offenbach University of Art and Design in Berlin"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compass in Hand brings together approximately 250 works from the Judith Rothschild Foundations extraordinary gift of drawings to The Museum of Modern Art, in 2005. Formed by Harvey S. Shipley Miller, the Foundations trustee, the collection comprises over 2,500 works on paper by more than 650 artists and was conceived to be the widest possible cross-section of contemporary drawing made primarily within the past twenty years. An extended essay by Christian Rattemeyer highlights the primary curatorial concepts and categories of the collection and a conversation between Harvey S. Shipley Miller and Gary Garrels, former Chief Curator of the Department of Drawings at MoMA, recounts the objectives and processes through which the collection was originally formed, providing a unique panorama on the state of drawing today.

No other writer enhances the reader’s experience of art in precise, jargon-free prose as Schjeldahl does.

Download or read book Wyeth written by Laura J. Hoptman and published by The Museum of Modern Art. This book was released on 2012 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1948 Andrew Wyeth produced what would become one of the most iconic paintings in American art: a desolate landscape featuring a woman lying in a field, that he called "Christina's World." The woman in the painting, Christina Olson, lived in Cushing, Maine, where Wyeth and his wife kept a summer house. She suffered from polio, and was paralyzed from the waist down; Wyeth was moved to portray her when he saw her one day crawling through the field towards her house. "Christina's World" was to become one of the most well-loved and most scorned works of the twentieth century, igniting heated arguments about parochialism, sentimentality, kitsch and elitism that have continued to dog the art world and Wyeth's own reputation, even after the artist's death in 2009. An essay by MoMA curator Laura Hoptman revisits the genesis of the painting, discussing Wyeth's curious focus, over the course of his career, on a deliberately delimited range of subjects and exploring the mystery that continues to surround the enigmatic painting.

Book excerpt: "Brad Kahlhamer's expansive universe churns with an unrestrained rhythmic energy that is as indebted to punk as it is the prairie. Fusing exuberant expressionism with the visionary tradition of Native American art, he draws from a wide range of visual sources, including cinema, comics, rock music, urban street culture and the American West. The resulting landscape, populated by an unruly cast of characters, dead or alive, blends representations of the real into what the artist calls an imaginary "third place" that exists beyond the "first place" of his conventional American upbringing and the "second place" of his Native American heritage-a kind of ecstatic glitter-and-doom-meets-Deadwood by way of downtown NYC." "This volume, the first comprehensive monograph on Kahlhamer's work to date, surveys more than 10 years of drawings, paintings and sculptures."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book David Hammons, Yves Klein written by Heidi Zuckerman and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers a compelling examination of the surprising conceptual and visual correspondences between the works of these two pivotal artists known for their innovative practices. Klein (1928-1962) was a major figure in postwar art who opened up new possibilities for material, conceptual and performative expression, often touching on the metaphysical. Hammons (born 1943) is a conceptual artist whose works in performance, installation, sculpture, printmaking and other media confront contemporary realities with an often hard-hitting wit. This publication aims not to draw out any notion of influence or direct correlation between these bodies of work, but rather to elucidate a resonance between two artists who both engage transformative processes to invest the humblest of everyday materials with deep aesthetic significance.

Book excerpt: "The mostly abstract oeuvre of Belgian painter Raoul De Keyser (*1930 in Deinze) has met with resounding international approval since the eighties. This monograph presents works from a creative period lasting for more than forty years. De Keyser's painting has been influenced by the modernism of the postwar years: although his compositions are reserved and austere, and make reference to Color Field painting and Minimalism, they are nevertheless extraordinarily poetic. The artist is a sovereign of painting who does not concentrate on cultivating a specific style, but rather explores the entire field of painting and its expressive possibilities. De Keyser's mono- or dichromatic arrangements, his abstract formal compositions and citations from everyday life and nature illustrate the broad field of painterly possibilities as well as their constantly expanding boundaries."--Publisher's description.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 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.
