"This study examines the politics of photographic criticism, history and practice. It is a revisionist approach to the history of photography, a critique of photographic modernism and the institutions promoting it, and a feminist exploration of the camera's role in producing (and reproducing) dominant social and sexual ideology. Considering the role of cultural institutions - art historians, collectors, and dealers in construction histor ..."
"Presenting two decades of work by Abigail Solomon-Godeau, "Photography After Photography"is an inquiry into the circuits of power that shape photographic practice, criticism, and historiography. As the boundaries that separate photography from other forms of artistic production are increasingly fluid, Solomon-Godeau, a pioneering feminist and politically engaged critic, argues that the relationships between photography, culture, gender, ..."

"Why did the male nude dominate French art through the French Revolution and then largely disappear? In this pioneering book which challenges received ideas about masculinity and neoclassical visual culture, Abigail Solomon-Godeau shows how the masculine ideal, whether in the guise of virile hero or passive youths, then or now, raises important questions about the fashioning of masculinity itself. Drawing on feminist, psychoanalytical an ..."

"In this pioneering book (which includes illustrations of works rarely, if ever, reproduced), Abigail Solomon-Godeau shows that the masculine ideal, whether in the guise of martial, virile heroes or languishing, disempowered youths, raises important questions about the fashioning of masculinity itself - questions relevant not only to the elite culture of the past but also to the mass culture of the late twentieth century. Examining the d ..."

This fascinating volume offers an in-depth explora ..."
"Magritte's extraordinary late paintingsWhen René Magritte reached his 40s, something unexpected happened. The painter, who had honed an iconic Surrealist style between 1926 and 1938, suddenly started making paintings that looked almost nothing like his earlier work. First he adopted an Impressionist aesthetic, borrowing the sweet, hazy palette of Pierre-Auguste Renoir--which he described as "sunlit Surrealism." Then his style shifted ag ..."

"Refraction documents the first suite of black and white compositions, each constructed of three different photographs interlaced together with a lenticular process by multi-media artist George Legrady. Using his unique processes, Legrady creates a suite of works in which the viewer's movement alters the narrative potential of the image. The exhibition is accompanied by a catalog featuring an essay by noted critic and art historian, Abig ..."
"In March 2010 Jason Lazarus began to build an archive of photographs deemed too hard to keep; a project he says he has committed to for life. To date, submissions have included a variety of photographic materials: photo albums, slide, negatives, jpegs, and photo objects depicting friends, family, pets, interiors, lovers, and landscapes. Lazarus encourages donors to the archive to indicate whether the submission may be exhibited and publ ..."
"This book accompanies the Fall 2013 exhibition of Richard Avedon's photography to be held at Gagosian Gallery Beverly Hills. Over his sixty-year career, photographer Richard Avedon was renowned for his distinctive, transformative eye. Women were often his subject, through his fashion work for Harper's Bazaar and Vogue and in his portraiture of both the famous and the unknown. What might have been pictured as prosaic or unattractive thro ..."
"With her Untitled Film Stills of the 1970s, Cindy Sherman became one of the era's most important and influential artists. Since then, her metamorphosing self-portraits and appropriation of genres can be seen as a continuous investigation of representation and its complicated relationship to photography. Sherman and her work are often discussed in terms of postmodern theorie ..."
"Much of the art and art theory of the 1980s has addressed the question Abigail Solomon-Godeau asks in her essay for this book: whether "the art object can carve a place for itself outside the determinations of the already-written, the already-seen, the sign." Utopia Post Utopia takes up the debate on this issue which has crystallized around the theoretical opposition between nature and culture, or more specifically the analysis of a nat ..."
"At the other pole of photographic representation is the “confessional” mode
represented by Larry Clark and Nan Goldin, who deploy a photographic rhetoric
of lived experience and privileged knowledge, and who declare their personal
stake in the substance of their representations. Such work is one of the historical
legacies of art photography to the degree that it affirms the medium's capacity to
render subjectivity, whether that of ..."
" This lavishly illustrated monograph will be the definitive publication to date on artist Ashley Bickerton. From the coolly abstract sculptures which evolved amid his meteoric success in the 1980s New York art world, to his richly hued paintings and photographs that channel the Indonesian island of Bali that he now calls home, Bickerton’s work has dramatically transformed over his twenty-five year career. This aesthetic evolution has oc ..."
