"Primarily known for his paradigmatic "shelves" displaying everyday objects, Haim Steinbach (born 1944) has developed a practice that evolved from early minimalist painting with grids and monochromes to later large-scale installations that have seldom been seen in the US. Growing out of a traveling exhibition that features works drawn from throughout Steinbach's career, as well as archival materials and new site-specific installations, O ..."

" The Tate Triennial is a snapshot of the state of contemporary art in Britain today. Featuring 30 artists the 2006 Triennial will explore a significant strand in contemporary art practice: the borrowing or recasting of cultural material. While the appropriation and juxtaposition of images, facts, formal elements and even existing art works is a well recognized artistic strategy, most commonly associated with post-modernism, the Trienni ..."






Günther Förg
A Fragile Beauty
by Gavin Delahunty, Lisa Le Feuvre, Kirsty Bell, Liam Gillick, Megan R. Luke, Lauren Richman, Jeffrey Saletnik, Matthew S. Witkovsky, Beatrix Ruf, Chelsea Pierce, Michael Neff, Kristy Bell, Gunther Förg, Martin Fox

ISBN-13: 978-0-300-22922-6, ISBN: 0-300-22922-4

"Günther Förg (1952–2013) was a German painter, sculptor, and photographer with an irreverent approach to abstraction. Förg’s project tackled the latent instability between image and reality. His painterly surfaces may appear exquisitely sensitive, his installations elegantly precise, but these are mastered and executed with a cold detachment. His deft manipulations of the languages of abstraction obscured a darker message. This publicat ..."

"Liam Gillick emerged as part of the generation of "Young British Artists" who energized the British art scene in the 1980s and 1990s. He is now one of the most influential (and perplexing) artists in all of contemporary art. Gillick's discursive mode of art practice--often associated with "relational aesthetics"--complicates object production, embraces the exhibition as med ..."

Paperback, 238 Pages, Published 2009 by The Mit Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-262-64069-5, ISBN: 0-262-64069-4

"Throughout its diverse manifestations, the utopian entails two related but contradictory elements: the aspiration to a better world, and the acknowledgement that its form may only ever live in our imaginations. Furthermore, we are as haunted by the failures of utopian enterprise as we are inspired by the desire to repair the failed and build the new. Contemporary art reflec ..."

Hardcover, 256 Pages, Published 2008 by Guggenheim Museum
ISBN-13: 978-0-89207-377-1, ISBN: 0-89207-377-2

"During the 1990s a number of artists claimed the exhibition as their medium. Working independently or in various collaborative constellations, they eschewed the individual object in favour of the exhibition environment as a dynamic arena, ever expanding its physical and temporal parameters. Their work engages directly with the vicissitudes of everyday life, offering subtle moments of transformation. This catalogue, which accompanies a m ..."

Hardcover, 598 Pages, Published 2008 by Haunch Of Venison
ISBN-13: 978-1-905620-20-3, ISBN: 1-905620-20-9

"Keith Tyson (b 1969, England) has an interest in the way the world works, our place in it as individual human beings and the interconnectedness of every aspect of the universe. He works in almost all mediums, and his artworks have taken the form of performance pieces to multifaceted sculptural installations. His practice often begins with Studio Wall Drawings, however, which can be sketches of thought processes, workings for larger piec ..."

ISBN-13: 978-1-942607-14-4, ISBN: 1-942607-14-8

"Although Heidi Bucher's (1926-93) oeuvre remained mostly overlooked after her death, a recent revitalization around her idiosyncratic practice has opened the conversation on this pioneer in the feminist dialogue of the 1970s. Born in Switzerland, Bucher moved to California in the 1960s where she collaborated with her husband Carl on "Bodyshells," a series of wearable sculptures exhibited at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in 1972. ..."

Illustrated
ISBN-13: 978-1-85437-649-7, ISBN: 1-85437-649-7

"GOD IS DAD. That was the title of Sarah Lucas's last show in New York, in which the pun-prone artist assembled an array of sculptures constructed from cast concrete forms, tacky beige nylon stockings and random metal objects. These typically abject art pieces fit right into the body of work Lucas has been building since the early 1990s from apparently banal, everyday materials. Old, worn furniture, clothing, food, newspapers, cigarettes ..."

ISBN-13: 978-1-933128-09-2, ISBN: 1-933128-09-7

"“Suddenly Hirst's head falls, with the neck and the coat. That is – Hirst's body falls over the bar. The straw penetrates his gullet through the nose and violently wakes the shrimp, the calamari, the salad, and the brandy in his stomach. He vomits it all on the bar, and they stream over the smooth brown wood. The gallerist gets up from his chair and goes over to Mr. Hirst. The barman hands him a nylon bag and helps him collect the anima ..."

Hardcover, 84 Pages, Published 2010 by Swiss Institute
ISBN-13: 978-1-884692-08-6, ISBN: 1-884692-08-7

"Since 2003, American artist Richard Phillips (born 1964) has made numerous appropriations of paintings by the Swiss artist Adolf Dietrich (1877-1957). Phillips shares with Dietrich a fondness for such subjects as animals, people and landscapes, stylized into an extreme degree of artifice. Phillips' appropriations and quotations of Dietrich's motifs orient his own aims firmly within the logic of art history (specifically the modernist ca ..."

"Richard PhillipsThe first monograph on New York-based contemporary artist Richard Phillips, best known for his large-scale paintings that are ultracool in execution and very hot in effect. Richard Phillips's hyperrealistic oil paintings embody themes as broad as power, politics, celebrity, fashion, ideology, beauty, and sex, and pose questions about the status of painting today: Does the medium remain valid, or has it become a historica ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-85488-185-7, ISBN: 0-85488-185-9

"What is a photographic image? Can a photograph ever tell the truth? These are some of the questions artist Walid Raad (born 1967) has been investigating for the past 20 years, in a practice that encompasses photography, film and video, sculpture, installation and performance. This publication brings together three major bodies of work: the photographic and video works produced under the fictional collective name The Atlas Group; various ..."

ISBN-13: 978-3-03764-032-6, ISBN: 3-03764-032-4

"Using well-used genres like figurative painting, travel photography and landscape, John Miller has, since the 1970s, challenged the function of the author and the concomitant loss of aura for the artwork. He has regularly shifted his practice, actively resisting the reduction of his work to any critical tag. This volume remaps Miller's oeuvre."
