Book Synopsis Wolfgang Tillmans by : Wolfgang Tillmans
Download or read book Wolfgang Tillmans written by Wolfgang Tillmans and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few artists have changed the manner in which photographic images are made, read, and received over the past two decades as dramatically as German photographer Wolfgang Tillmans (b. 1968). One of the most important and distinctive artists to emerge in the 1990s, Tillmans’s work is internationally recognized for its powerful reflections on the often overlooked objects and moments in everyday life. With images culled from the entirety of Tillmans’s career, this generously illustrated book accompanies the artist’s first retrospective exhibition in the United States and features the potent effects of his portraits, abstractions, and structural and sculptural motifs. Essays by leading scholars examine the context of the German art and pop cultural scene in which Tillmans first began working in the late 1980s; his use of magazines as both venue and source materials; his unique approach to portraiture; his ability to create a sense of intimacy between the viewer and subjects ranging from his friends to cultural figures and heads of state; and his distinctive approach to presenting his images in displays and installations. A fascinating loo�k at the breadth of Tillmans’s career to date, including his most recent new work, this book demonstrates the renowned abilities of one of the art world’s most revolutionary photographers.

The many photographs of the artworks and encounters with the artists convey fascinating insights into their being, ideas and work.Seven art projects with established artists centralise their thoughts to a great extent. In addition, the book emphasises two Personal Structures exhibitions that were part of the Venice Biennale in 2011 and 2013.This publication also contains several interviews, artists' statements, and symposium contributions that discuss the theme of this book in detail.Personal Structures was initiated in 2002 by the Dutch artist Rene Rietmeyer. His observation that even in the most distant places artists are occupied with time, space and existence, led to the idea of bringing several of these artists together in publications, symposia and exhibitions.English and Japanese text.

Book Synopsis Sam Gilliam by : Jonathan P. Binstock
Download or read book Sam Gilliam written by Jonathan P. Binstock and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2005-12-05 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A fresh, intelligent, and insightful assessment of Sam Gilliam's lifetime achievements as an artist. Binstock accomplishes this through his penetrating critical examination of Gilliam's artistic development, innovations, and the complexities of his contribution both as an abstract and African-American artist.”—Valerie J. Mercer, author of Explorations in the 'City of Light' "Sam Gilliam: A Retrospective, which gives focus and definition to an artist critical to our understanding of how contemporary painting has evolved in this country, is a highly welcome publication."—Leslie King-Hammond, Dean of Graduate Studies, Maryland Institute College of Art "Sam Gilliam: A Retrospective is a thorough and serious assessment of a magisterial career. Meticulously examining Gilliam's ideas, aesthetics, influences, artistic process, and impact on other artists, it illuminates his brilliance and the important role played by his work in the recent history of American painting."—Maurice Berger, Fellow, The Vera List Center for Art & Politics, The New School "Finally a comprehensive study of one of our most significant artists! Jonathan Binstock's erudite account of Sam Gilliam's innovations in the world of art fills a considerable void in our understanding of painterly abstraction. The art works themselves-cerebral, sentient, and fascinating-consummate the inquiry and make this book a visual delight."—Richard J. Powell, John Spencer Bassett Professor of Art and Art History, Duke University "Binstock's writings on Sam Gilliam's art over the past four decades have placed the artist in the forefront of contemporary American art. In this new book, he recounts Gilliam's rise to an artist of international prominence and offers a concise history of contemporary art in Washington. A must read."—David D. Driskell, author of Two Centuries of Black American Art "This comprehensive text celebrates one of America's hidden national treasures. Gilliam's steadfast and unswerving commitment as an artist shines through his works, as in this account of them by Jonathan Binstock. What emerges here is a full-on profile of an artist and a black American."—Lowery Stokes Sims, President, The Studio Museum in Harlem

Download or read book Peter Halley written by Michelle Cotton and published by Hatje Cantz Verlag. This book was released on 2023-01-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1980 begann Peter Halley seine ersten Prisons – radikal reduzierte geometrische Abstraktionen – zu malen. Die Abstraktion wurde hier nicht mehr als utopischer Ausgangspunkt der Befreiung verstanden, sondern als dystopisches Symbol für die Regulierung der Umwelt und des sozialen Raums. »Ich wollte den Blick auf diese geometrisierte, rationalisierte und quantifizierte Welt lenken. Ich sah darin eine Welt, die beherrscht wurde von Effizienz«, schrieb der amerikanische Künstler 1990. In einer Zeit der immer massenhafteren Verbreitung von privaten Computern und der frühen Internetära entwickelte Halley ein System basierend nur drei geometrischen Grundformen, die er als »Gefängnisse«, »Leitungen« und »Zellen« bezeichnete. Auch in der Wahl seiner Materialien, wie dem strukturgebenden Farbadditiv Roll-A-Tex und fluoreszierenden Day-Glo-Farben, verwies er auf die Mechanisierung handwerklicher Fähigkeiten. Dieser Katalog setzt den Fokus auf die ersten zehn Jahre intensiven Schaffens und zeigt die geistesgeschichtlichen Wurzeln von Halleys charakteristischer Bildsprache.
Download or read book Andy Warhol written by Andy Warhol and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: News and death fascinated Warhol, and nowhere is this more uncomfortably reflected than in his paintings of electric chairs. Part of his Death and Disaster series, these works borrow from the eye-catching style of tabloid journalism to reflect on the clash of dreams and violence that suffused 60s America. Using photographs collected from various media sources, imagery often deemed too upsetting for the front page, Warhol compels us to look more closely at our own voyeurism and our response and lack of response to violence, as well as our reactions to the universal experience of death that underlies both high-profile public disasters and everyday violence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Irreverent, eccentric, Max's Picnic Book is the follow up the Sunday Times Bestseller, Max's Sandwich Book. Both an ode to the art of eating outdoors, and an entertaining, frivolous reinvention of it, Max and Ben will redefine what the picnic is, and celebrate its true potential, before creating 16 themed menus. Including ingenious hacks – think flavoured salts for dipping eggs and soft-serve with a shot of espresso – as well as twists on familiar favourites, this book about how and why we should picnic. Interpreting the ways in which we can eat outdoors through the eyes of their picnicking heroes, such as Hunter S. Thompson, Mary Berry and Snoop Dogg, the reader will be left with a broadened perception of what a picnic truly is.
