Using photography, video, painting, drawing, sculpture, sound and text by turns, this Swiss-born, New York-based artist, a virtuoso of forms and techniques, develops surprising sensorial environments He especially likes to destabilize the viewer's perceptions, to unsettle their certainties Rearranging content and formal elements in обяфк a personal poetic with elements taken directly from the outside world, he draws us into a synesthetic experience This monograph, released on the occasion of his first solo exhibition in a major British cultural institution, re-creates this work in all its richness, documenting certain pieces and most of his solo exhibitions over the last 20 years Rondinone is represented in New York by Matthew Marks Gallery and in London by Sadie Coles HQ.  Pass   57.1   Bett   Bett2006 г Твердый переплет, 293 стр ISBN 3905701529.

Over the past four decades, Richard Tuttle has thrown into question nearly every conceivable artistic convention and critical category to create an enormously inventive body of abstract workone that embraces and intermingles drawing, painting, collage, book-making, sculpture, and design From his spare yet enigmatic forms of the 1960s обяфт to his complex, multi-faceted assemblages and installations of more recent years, Tuttle's primary impetus throughout has been to craft unique objects, using everyday, often ephemeral materials, that demand to be confronted on their own terms The relentless individuality of his aesthetic vision has earned him standing as one of the most provocative and influential artists of his day This richly illustrated and strikingly designed catalogue, the most authoritative volume ever published on this prolific artist, presents nearly fourhundred reproductions of artworks from across his oeuvre and documentary photographs of his creative process Essays by a distinguished group of writers trace the arc of Tuttle's career from its inception in the 1960s to the present day, addressing topics such as the philosophical underpinnings of his artistic method; his sensitive handling of diverse materials; his lifelong engagement with drawing and its expansion into three-dimensional space; his groundbreaking solo exhibitions and their critical reception in the United States and Europe; his complex play with the conventions of language; and his innovative artist's books, many of which are collaborations with poets The Art of Richard Tuttle is published in conjunction with a major retrospective organized by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art The exhibition travels to the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; the Des Moines Art Center; the Dallas Museum of Art; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles.  отде   Шуре   Your   Skag2005 г Твердый переплет, 394 стр ISBN 1933045000.

The second half of the 20th Century witnessed an outburst of theories and manifestoes that explored the possibilities of architecture: it's language, evolution and social relevance The many 'crises in architecture' and emerging urban and ecological problems questioned the current orthodoxy: Modernism was criticised, questioned and overthrown, обяфы only to be extended, subverted and revivified The result was a cascade of new theories, justifications and recipes for building This anthology, first edited in 1997, brought together a coherent collection of texts that tracked these important shifts from all the major architectural thinkers and practitioners In this new edition of the book, over twenty additional extracts are published that present an entirely new axis for architectural thinking Whereas much of the 20th-Century thought was dominated by the 'perceived crisis' in Modernity, 'the new paradigm' or 'complexity paradigm' has been excited by the possibilities of Emergence in the Science of Complexity and Chaos theory The reach of complexity is expressed through the primacy of Benoit Mandelbrot's theories on geometry, with an extract from his manifesto on fractals; and furthered through an outline of Emergence by Steven Johnson It is also handled through texts that focus on the diagram and are demonstrated in its more applied form through passages dealing with the global city and culture Essential for the student and practitioner alike, Theories and Manifestoes since its first edition has established itself as the touchstone book for architectural thought It features seminal texts by Reyner Banham, Peter Eisenman, Frank Gehry, Rem Koolhaas, Colin Rowe and Robert Venturi This is now ejected with greater currency with extracts from: Cecil Balmond, Foreign Office Architects, Daniel Libeskind, MVRDV, Lars Spuybroek, UN Studio and West 8.  Вятк   Unit   Семе   слов2006 г Мягкая обложка, 384 стр ISBN 0470014695.

The internationally acclaimed architect Rafael Moneo is known to be a courageous architect His major works include the Houston Museum of Fine Art, Davis Art Museum at Wellesley College, the Stockholm Museum of Modern Art and Architecture, and the Potzdammer Platz Hotel in Berlin Now Moneo will be known as a daring critic as well In this book, he looks обяхб at eight of his contemporaries -- all architects of international stature -- and discusses the theoretical positions, technical innovations, and design contributions of each Moneo's discussion of these eight architects -- James Stirling, Robert Venturi, Aldo Rossi, Peter Eisenman, Alvaro Siza, Frank Gehry, Rem Koolhaas, and the partnership of Jacques Herzog and Pierre De Meuron -- has the colloquial, engaging tone of a series of lectures on modern architecture by a master architect; the reader hears not the dispassionate theorizing of an academic, but Moneo's own deeply held convictions as he considers the work of his contemporaries More than 500 illustrations accompany the text Discussing each of the eight architects in turn, Moneo first gives an introductory profile, emphasizing intentions, theoretical concerns, and construction procedures He then turns to the work, offering detailed critical analyses of the works he considers to be crucial for an informed understanding of this architect's work The many images he uses to illustrate his points resemble the rapid-fire flash of slides in a lecture, but Moneo's perspective is unique among lecturers These profiles are not what Moneo calls the "tacit treatises" that can be found on the shelves of a university library, but lively encounters of architectural equals.  Mari   Stop   Yves   Mexo2005 г Твердый переплет, 416 стр ISBN 0262134438.

No other subject inspired Henri Matisse with such passion throughout his career as the female figure in interior settings This is the most comprehensive publication to cover the topic of women in the work of the great regenerator of European painting, and in so doing, it covers the full spectrum of MatisseA­s creative evolution, from the small, обяхд somber, early pictures to the masterly compositions of his Fauvist phase, the intimate pictorial inventions of the Nice period, and finally the luminous paper cutouts of his late work Many of the interiors show women reading, sleeping or daydreaming, passive figures enveloped in Oriental fabrics, costumed as odalisques or reclining on chaise longues Additional motifs include the artist and his model, the artistA­s studio, the portrait, the still-life, and the view from a window Figure Color Space offers an in-depth survey of this important subject in MatisseA­s work, through which he developed and continually explored his rich and imaginative repertoire of forms and colors Along with paintings from all periods, it includes sculptures, drawings, cutouts and prints, as well as historical studio photographs by Cartier-Bresson, Brassao, HA?lA?ne Adant and others A richly illustrated biography completes this exquisite presentation.  Mois   Terr   Robe   Drea2006 г Твердый переплет, 383 стр ISBN 3775716017.

From 1948 to 1976 Ansel Adams produced seven portfolios, each a limited edition of 10 to 15 signed photographic prints This book reproduces all 90 of these superb images, including many of Adamss most famous monumental landscape photographs and some remarkable, less familiar portraits and architectural studies The Portfolios of Ansel Adams обяхй was first published in 1977 In 1981 it was decided to take advantage of new printing technology and also to have the book redesigned In this new printing, the typography from the introductory texts of the original portfolios was faithfully reproduced In addition, new laser-scanned separations were made of all the images to guarantee the best possible reproduction of the photographs In his eloquent introduction, John Szarkowski observes that of all Adams publications, his portfolios most clearly represent his personal view of the meaning of his work.  Barb   Maxt   stop   Cano2006 г Мягкая обложка, 152 стр ISBN 0821258222.

The Kiss of Klimt: the most fascinating painter of Vienna's Belle Epoque Gustav Klimt's art is thoroughly fin de siA?cle It expresses the apocalyptic atmosphere of Vienna's upper-middle-class society a society devoted to the cultivation of aesthetic awareness and the cult of pleasure The ecstatic joy which Klimt (1862-1918) and his contemporaries обяхф found or hoped to find in beauty was constantly overshadowed by death, and death therefore plays an important role in Klimt's art Klimt's fame, however, rests on his reputation as one of the greatest erotic painters and graphic artists of his times Particularly his drawings, which have been widely admired for their artistic excellence, are dominated by the erotic portrayal of women Klimt saw the world "in female form " Author Gottfried Fliedlalso discusses the Secession movement and Klimt's role within this important group of artists.  Nadi   Rand   Жадь   12802006 г Твердый переплет, 239 стр ISBN 3822850160.

How ever to explain Salvador DalA­?~This monograph on DalA­, originally published in 1975, was обяхю without doubt a landmark in the extensive bibliography on the artist Two factors aided author Luis Romero in his endeavor: Firstly, the active support of DalA­ himself, who helped in selecting the materials and who produced the series of original calligraphic texts that precede each of the sections in the book And secondly, Romero's decades of long talks and conversations with the artist, a wealth of invaluable information without which this book could not have been composed This revised edition features a new design grid, an updated index of works by DalA­, digitalized and color-corrected images made from new transparencies, and an up-to-date biography and bibliography The entire text by Luis Romero and the sequence of images that he and DalA­ established remain unaltered Surrealism is destructive, but it destroys only what it considers to be shackles limiting our vision --Salvador DalA­ Essay by Luis Romero Clothbound, 9 5 x 11 25 in /352 pgs / 170 color and 261 duotone.  Iron   Lowl   Morn   Robe2004 г Твердый переплет, 352 стр ISBN 8434310317.

Caught between description and dream, the felt and the imagined, French artist Odilon Redon, whose career bridged the 19th and 20th centuries, transformed the natural world into nightmarish visions and bizarre fantasies Closely allied with the Symbolist movement, Redon offered his own interpretations of literary, biblical, and mythological обяце subjects; created a universe of strange hybrid creatures; and presented landscape in a singular way: we see grinning disembodied teeth, smiling spiders, melancholic floating faces, winged chariots, unfamiliar plant life, and velvety black or colored swirls of atmosphere With a recent gift from the Ian Woodner family, The Museum of Modern Art is now the site of the most significant body of the artist's work outside France, and this book will showcase the full range of Redon's varied oeuvre--charcoal "noirs," luminous pastels, richly textured canvases, literary collaborations, and experiments in printmaking--and will illuminate the hold his particular kind of modernism has had on both 20th-century and contemporary artists Essay by Jodi Hauptman Hardcover, 9 25 x 11 in /256 pgs / 142 color and 160 duotones.  Enco   Мвкд   Соде   Amar2006 г Твердый переплет, 284 стр ISBN 0870707027.

Throughout his life, Franz Kafka was fascinated by photography, a medium which for him came to encapsulate both the attractions and the pitfalls of modern life Kafka's personal engagement with the medium - as a keen viewer and collector of photographs as well as an amateur photographer - is reflected in his writings, which explore photography from одошю a variety of different perspectives By far the most frequently and extensively discussed visual medium in Kafka's texts, photography is paradigmatic of his relationship to visuality more generally This study not only explores photography's recurrence as a theme within his texts but it is also the first to take systematic account of Kafka's use of photographs as literary source material Kafka and Photography presents one of the most important modern writers from an entirely new perspective; it sheds new light on familiar works and uncovers unexplored aspects of Kafka's engagement with his time and context Providing a chronological account of key prose works, as well as the personal writings, this study is accessible to students and lay readers It will be of interest not only to literary scholars but also to those working in photography, media, and cultural studies Its detailed textual analyses are set against a richly documented historical context which illustrates Kafka's interest in contemporary culture through a range of visual material taken from public as well as private sources - some of which has only recently become available As this book demonstrates, photography had a profound impact on Kafka's literary imagination and as such helps to explain the mesmerizing intensity of enigmatic visual detail which is a hallmark of his narratives Автор Carolin Duttlinger.  Rola   Сысо   Serg   HistИздательство: Oxford University Press, 2008 г Твердый переплет, 288 стр ISBN 0199219451 Язык: Английский.

Alice Aycock's large, semi-architectural works deal with the interaction of structure, site, materials, and the psychophysical responses of the viewer Offered meaningful but contradictory clues by both her images and her texts, viewers attempt to discover not only what the work of art conveys but how it communicates its contents, in investigations обяфщ that parallel the artist's own In Alice Aycock: Sculpture and Projects, Robert Hobbs examines the development of Aycock's work over twenty years and her negotiation -- along with other artists who came of age in the early 1970s -- of the transition from modernism to postmodernism "The problem," wrote Aycock in 1977, "seems to be how to connect without connecting " Hobbs describes Aycock's strategies for doing just this: for creating a work with disparate image and texts that offer a new perspective on reality Influenced by the "specific objects" of minimalism's hybrid forms and by conceptualism's emphasis on language, Aycock relies on paradigms, cybernetics, phenomenology, physics, post-structuralism, psychoanalysis, information overload, outdated scientific thinking, and computer programming to create a "complex" that is architectural and sculptural as well as mental and emotional Schizophrenia and other mental conditions, sometimes considered metaphors for the disconnections of postmodern existence, are specific sources of inspiration in Aycock’s work By exploring the physical and existential positions of isolation, estrangement, disorientation, entrapment and fear, her three-dimensional constructions not only posit alternative states of mind, they suppose possible narratives and suggest multiple truths and lies Aycock’s work invites the viewer to experience sculpture with the entire body and a fully mind Her sculpture has had a transformative effect on the contemporary art experience.  Sifr   Fisk   рабо   Юсуп2005 г Твердый переплет, 400 стр ISBN 0262083396.

No discussion of postwar Dutch art--or postwar European art--is complete without mentioning Karel Appel, whom many consider Holland's most important painter Appel attended the Academy of Arts in Amsterdam from 1940 to 1943, and then bided his time painting landscapes and portraits in an era when artists were forbidden to buy materials or exhibit обяфя unless they joined the German A¬Chamber of Culture A® After the liberation, as reproductions of works by Picasso and others began to find their way to Holland, Appel rebelled against his studio training, founded several avant garde groups (including Cobra), and then moved to Paris Years of travel and experimentation with subjects, colors and materials, left him with a close relationship to the American art community and studios all over the world Appel is a sculptor and a ceramist, too, but he is above all an expressionist, a man of passion led by spontaneity, who has conversely made a lasting mark.  Park   Soul   Hits   SPOR2006 г Твердый переплет, 143 стр ISBN 808902517X.

There are hundreds of books on the market about designing the interior of a home, but none for homeowners that focuses on the design of a home’s exterior And yet the exterior of the house is what we all see and remember- it’s the “face” of home we fall in love with--whether we are looking for a new home or just taking in the sights during a Sunday обяхж afternoon drive All of us can relate to a house’s exterior, but few understand how they’re put together, or how the outside and inside should work in harmony When people describe the exterior of a house, they usually give a label or a style- Cape, Colonial, Ranch But, in truth, what they are referring to are not only its exterior physical characteristic- the particular blend of rooflines, siding, trim, windows, doors and porches, but also its emotional characteristics- inviting, austere, friendly In his new book The Face of Home, Jeremiah Eck, FAIA, author of Taunton’s The Distinctive Home, examines these physical and emotional characteristics, explores the concepts and applications of exterior design and how they can be successfully used to enhance the experience of home and provides a fresh, new language for describing, understanding, and shaping the face of home After a comprehensive first chapter that illustrates the way houses have traditionally been identified: by historical description (Queen Anne, Tudor); material (Shingle, Craftsman); shape (Salt Box, Ranch); and architectural (Wrightian, Miesian), Eck then introduces a new, fuller language for exteriors that goes beyond and behind these to explore the basic concepts of good exterior design: scale and massing, symmetry and asymmetry, and transparency and opaqueness These concepts are then further refined and expressed by the shaping of features and details such as roof, doors, windows, siding, and the use of color and textures through a highly a visual tour of 23 houses vividly illustrating how these concepts are applied to give a home its unique style and personality Throughout the book, Eck shows us the close relationship between interior and exterior design and how they impact one another.  серт   Myth   Stan   Perp2006 г Твердый переплет, 224 стр ISBN 1561587710.
