Duane Hanson: Sculptures of the American Dream»rank: 861189by: Lotte Sophie Lederballe, Thomas Buchsteiner, Keith Hartley, Duane Hanson
: :You may feel as though you have seen them before, in a movie, at the gym, browsing at a yard sale, meandering through the mall, or--more likely--on your trip to Florida. Duane Hanson's life-sized fiberglass and polyester resin sculptures are the spitting images of real, breathing people; they illustrate modern consumer society with equal parts tenderness, humor and horror. This revised edition of Hatje Cantz's best-selling catalogue raisonne, featuring two new essays, documents all phases of Hanson's oeuvre, from his earliest carved wooden replica of Thomas Gainsborough's 'The Blue Boy' to the last works he produced before his death in 1996. Regardless of when the works were made, though, Hanson's ... |
Friedrich Christian Flick Collection Im Hamburger Bahnof»rank: 1102098by: Eugen Blume, Peter Fischli, Eija-Liisa Ahtila, Marcel Broodthaers, Marcel Duchamp, Marlene Dumas, Isa Genzken, Dan Graham, Duane Hanson, Jeff Koons, Gordon Matta-Clark, Paul McCarthy, Raymond Pettibon, Charles Ray
: :This is, quite possibly, one of the world's best designed art books. Featured within its pages are works from the Friedrich Christian Flick Collection--one of the world's most significant (and yes, controversial) collections of contemporary art. But this book doesn't merely present some 400 works by 40 artists, it also seeks, through its design, to provide an individual stage--or section--for each artist in order to highlight the artist's philosophy, or to play off of his or her signature works of art. For example, Raymond Pettibon's comic-like drawings unfold to a newspaper-sized spread, while Gordon Matta-Clark's opening page has a split in it that corresponds perfectly to the cut-out in the ... |

Duane Hanson: More than Reality»rank: 1688297by: Thomas Buchsteiner, Keith Hartley, Otto Letze, Luzia Matimo, Duane Hanson
: :Wrinkles, facial hair, varicose veins, and fingernail dirt are hardly the bodily stuff of your average figurative sculpture, be it a Praxiteles or a Rodin. But Duane Hanson was never after the ideal figure, merely the familiar one, one so recognizable it is often mistaken for the flesh-and-blood waitress, house painter or cop it so vividly, eerily depicts in polyester resin. Clothed in the most exacting of detail, down to their hidden underpants, Hanson's sculptures compell an endless, prying looking into the folds and moods of his subjects. More Than Reality, the first catalogue raisonne of his sculptures, reveals that Hanson's objective was never blatant voyeurism but the opening of ... |
