"Drawing. The Bottom Line presents the works of fifty-three artists from around the globe, all working within the medium of drawing and exploiting its versatile nature in a wide variety of ways.

"The work of New York-based artist Don Dudley (born 1930) represents a dialogue between the Minimalist practices of the American East and West Coasts in the 1960s and '70s, while simultaneously speaking to a new generation of artists who are re-examining perfectionist surfaces and Minimalist practices. As "The New York Times" critic Ken Johnson wrote: "As if made for a Euclidean mystery cult, [Dudley's work] is classically modern and mod ..."
"In his sculptures and drawings, Thomas Lerooy (born 1981) conjures a fantastical world probing the flaws that define man's mental and physical limits. Lerooy's drawings celebrate tradition reaching back to Leonardo da Vinci, but also recall the vanitas paintings of the seventeenth century melded with the grotesque humor of James Ensor."
"From his debut in 1964, the widely beloved Belgian painter Raoul de Keyser (1930–2012) pursued and developed a unique compositional sensibility in which distinctions between abstraction and figuration were to dissolve in an intimate, humble sensation of “everydayness.” His modestly scaled paintings featured simple but elusive shapes often rendered in a broadly pastel palette, full of gentle sensuality.This 240-page volume accompanies th ..."
"'Meine Sonne ist für mich, wie alle Bilder, ein Gebrauchsgegenstand zum Sehen, zum Fühlen, zum Träumen, zum Sich-etwas-Klarmachen', beschreibt Michael Buthe sein wiederkehrendes, zentrales Motiv. In leuchtenden Farben oder strahlendem Gold sammelt der Künstler im Rund dieses Himmelgestirns die gesamte Welt, ja den ganzen Kosmos ein. Michael Buthe kennt keine Berührungsängste: Ausgehend vom deutschen Informel und der amerikanischen Minim ..."

"Published in conjunction with an exhibition of work by the Belgian visual artist Michaël Borremans at CAC Málaga, this catalogue offers an exemplary overview of his refined style, which draws upon the long Flemish tradition of figurative painting, as well as works by Velázquez, Manet, Degas, and Chardin.

"This book, which sold out almost immediately upon publication, is a reprint of the catalogue produced on the occasion of Wolfson's 2012-2013 exhibitions at REDCAT (Roy and Edna Disney / CalArtsTheater) in Los Angeles and the Stedelijk Museum voor Actuele Kunst (S.M.A.K.) in Ghent.

"Michael Sailstorfer (born 1979 in Velden/Vils, lives and works in Berlin) focuses primarily on the relationship between motion and stillness and the object s pure physical condition, which he enriches using his ideas and modes of operation. His works go far beyond visual perception and speak through sound, vibrations, and even smells that address the viewer s other senses. Transformation and dematerialization are recurring focal points ..."

"Michaël Borremans frequently exhibits his paintings and films together, drawing out painterly qualities from film and cinematic qualities from paint to elucidate moody scenarios of "automated" behavior--scenarios in which the actions and poses of individual people or groups seem to be trapped in a loop of melancholia and unspecified woe, or what one critic has called a "Theatre of the Absurd," evoking not so much the theatrical movement ..."
"Since the 1990s, Rachel Harrison (born 1966) has developed a colorful and delightfully grotesque sculptural idiom out of the most contemporary detritus--styrofoam, plastic buckets, vacuum cleaners--which she blends with slapstick humor and art historical and pop cultural references. "Fake Titel" presents sculptures and drawings from three recent series: "The Help" (2012), the large-scale installation "Incidents of Travel in Yucatan" (20 ..."
