Download or read book Robert Mapplethorpe written by Paul Martineau and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2016-03-15 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The legacy of Robert Mapplethorpe (1946 –1989) is rich and complicated, triggering controversy, polarizing critics, and providing inspiration for many artists who followed him. Mapplethorpe, one of the most influential figures of his time, today stands as an example to emerging photographers who continue to experiment with the boundaries and concepts of the beautiful. Robert Mapplethorpe: The Photographs offers a timely and rewarding examination of his oeuvre and influence. Drawing from the extraordinary collection jointly acquired in 2011 by the J. Paul Getty Museum and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art from The Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation, as well as the Mapplethorpe Archive housed at the Getty Research Institute, the authors were given the unique opportunity to explore new resources and present fresh perspectives. The result is a fascinating introduction to Mapplethorpe’s career and legacy, accompanied by a rich selection of illustrations covering the remarkable range of his photographic work. All of these beautifully integrated elements contribute to what promises to become an essential point of access to Mapplethorpe’s work and practice. This publication is issued on the occasion of the exhibition Robert Mapplethorpe: The Perfect Mediumon view at both the J. Paul Getty Museum and at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art from March 15 and March 20, respectively, through July 31, 2016; at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Montréal from September 10, 2016, through January 15, 2017; and at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney, from October 28, 2017, through February 4, 2018.

Download or read book De Chirico written by Giorgio De Chirico and published by Craftsman House (AU). This book was released on 1996 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Giorgio de Chirico (1888-1978) is widely regarded as one of the masters of 20th century art. The originator of Metaphysical Painting, and precursor of the Surrealists, de Chirico was born in Volos, Greece, studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, and was initially influenced by Bocklin and Klinger. However he soon developed his own distinctive style, producing the first of his 'enigmatic' paintings in Italy around 1910. De Chirico's early works evoked an uneasy atmosphere through their use of strange perspectives, illogical shadows and open spaces, and he developed a theory of 'metaphysical insight' which located familiar objects in essentially mysterious relationships. In de Chirico's oeuvre a naturalistic vision always alternates, like waking and sleeping or dreaming, with another vision presenting abnormal forms and situations. If de Chirico's first period of Metaphysical paintingbetween 1910 and 1918 - remains his most celebrated, and has provided us with some of his most memorable images, it is also true that his later Metaphysical period was also a time of intense creativity and evocative art-making. But this period is his least well known. De Chirico moved on from his baroque and romantic paintings of the Forties and Fifties - works which diminished his standing among a number of art critics - to a 'new' Metaphysical period which related strongly to the rich, early phase of his work. This book is a celebration of that period in de Chirico's career, and evaluates not only his paintings, but also the mythic and symbolic sculptures produced at this time. De Chirico: The New Metaphysics is an essential resource for any reader interested in appreciating de Chirico's uniquecontribution to 20th century art.

Download or read book Breakfast at Sotheby's written by Philip Hook and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2014-10-02 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A witty journey through the wonderfully tumultuous world of art dealers and markets—organized in the style of a dictionary, complete with a glossary.” —Interview Two questions are key to experiencing a work of art in a museum or exhibition: 1.) Do I like it? 2.) Who’s it by? You need quite a few more questions if you’re in an auction room or dealer’s gallery, however. You’ll find yourself asking, How much is it worth? How much will it be worth in five or ten years? And finally, what will people think of me if they see it hanging on my wall? Breakfast at Sotheby’s is not only a guide to finding the answers to such questions, but also a glimpse into the rarely discussed financial side of the art world. Based on author Philip Hook’s thirty-five years of experience in the art market, the book explores various shades of artist (including -isms, Gericault, and suicides), subject and style (from abstract art and banality through surrealism and war), “wall-power,” provenance, and market weather. Comic, revealing, piquant, splendid, and occasionally absurd, Breakfast at Sotheby’s is a book of pleasure and intelligent observation, as engaged with art as it is with the world that surrounds it. “A breezy, whimsical and often wry compendium, chock-full of hard-won wisdom about what makes someone spend millions of dollars to buy an artwork at auction.” —The New York Times “A winner. Readers will learn more about the modern art market in this simple book than in any college course.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review

Book excerpt: This volume explores the history of Sotheby's auction house, tracing its beginnings back to 1744. It was in the latter half of the 19th century, when economic instability forced the aristocrats to sell off many of their treasures, that Sotheby's began to lay the foundations of the modern art market. The Sotheby's-Christie's rivalry intensified in the early-1900s and they have been battling it out ever since over the likes of Cezanne, Picasso, Van Gogh and Monet. Lacey takes the reader through the unprecedented boom of the 1980s, when Van Gogh's Irises went for $53.9 million, and examines the catastrophic effects of an inflation still being felt today.
