Diane Waldman Volgorde van de boeken (chronologisch)

Published to coincide with a major exhibition to tour both the US and Europe, this volume offers a survey of Kelly's paintings, sculptures, works on paper and photographs. The catalogue spans five decades, beginning in the late 1940s.

Ohne nostalgischen Ton und mit großer Begeisterung erinnert sich der heute weit über achtzigjährige Künstler an sein Leben, seine Arbeit und Begegnungen mit Lehrern und Künstlerkollegen, so an Max Beckmann, Brancusi, Léger und Vantongerloo, den er zeitweise wöchentlich in Paris besuchte, um ihm beim Malen zuzusehen. Mittelpunkt des Buches ist eine Reihe von übermalten und collagierten Postkarten aus den Jahren 1949 - 1984, die er erstmals aus seinem Archiv zur Veröffentlichung freigibt. Anhand dieser „Erinnerungen“ erörtert er sein künstlerisches Credo und seine Entwicklung als ein „künstlerisches Manifest“. Er spricht über sein Interesse an Architektur, über Maler, die ihn beeinflusst haben bis hin zu seinem Entwurf für das World Trade Center. Ellsworth Kelly, born 1923 in Birth Newburgh, NY, USA. Lives and works in upstate New York. Hans Ulrich Obrist, born in 1968 in Zurich, Switzerland. Lives and works in London. Es ist die positive Haltung des großen Einzelgängers in der Kunst der letzten 70 Jahre, die das kleine Buch zu einer großen Lesereise macht.

By the time Georg Baselitz (b. 1938) came to artistic maturity in Germany in the mid-1960s, he had renounced the gestural abstraction prevalent in Europe and America and developed a new aesthetic based upon the figure and its representation as an abstract image. His bold canvases - which began to feature his signature upside-down figures later in the decade - have brought him international recognition, but only now is his important career the subject of a comprehensive survey, organized by the Guggenheim Museum and traveling to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C.; and the Nationalgalerie, Berlin.This monograph, by Guggenheim Deputy Director and Senior Curator Diane Waldman, documents every phase of the artist's career as a painter and sculptor. New translations of many of Baselitz's writings provide additional insight into his radical use of the figure in painting. A chronology, bibliography, and exhibition history are also included.

Encompasses all the artist's early works, including authoritative notes and commentary

Enzo Cucchi was a key member of the Italian transavanguardia movement in the eighties which was part of a larger neo-expressionist trend. This catalog celebrates the work of a man who is among the most recognizable Italian artists on the contemporary scene. Collected here are over 100 paintings and drawings from the late seventies to today and held in major institutions such as the Museum of Modern Art and the Guggenheim in New York, the Beaubourg in Paris, the Louisiana Museum for Moderne Kunst in Humlebæk, and the Stedelijk in Amsterdam (among many others). They offer a highly detailed overview of Cucchi from his official debut on the international art scene onwards, allowing an appreciation of the extraordinary variety and richness of his work.

Eind jaren 50, begin jaren 60 werd de Amerikaanse schilder Roy Lichtenstein (1923-1997) een van de belangrijkste vertegenwoordigers van Pop Art - de beweging die produkten van de massaconsumptie en amusementsindustrie transformeerde tot kunstvoorwerpen. Deze verheerlijking van gewone alledaagse voorwerpen vertegenwoordigde tegelijkertijd een kritiek op het traditionele elitaire begrip van kunst. Als een van de weinige kunstenaars achtervolgde Lichtenstein de vraag hoe een beeld een kunstwerk wordt. Uitgave van De Volkskrant - Moderne Meesters #20 Vertaling: Jan Wynsen
