: :Photography has become an increasingly pervasive medium of choice in contemporary art practice and is even employed at times by artists who do not necessarily consider themselves to be photographers. How did this come to be? The Last Picture Show will address the emergence of this phenomenon of artists using photography by tracing the development of conceptual trends in postwar photographic practice from its first glimmerings in the 60s in the work of artists such as Bernd & Hilla Becher, Ed Ruscha and Bruce Nauman, to its rise to art-world prominence in the work of the artists of the late 70s and early 80s including Sherrie Levine, Richard Prince and Cindy Sherman. ... |
50 Years Of Documenta 1955-2005»rank: 894167by: Eija-Liisa Ahtila, Joseph Beuys, Christian Boltanski, Marcel Broodthaers
: :In 1955, the first Documenta was held in the provincial town of Kassel, Germany, alongside the National Garden Festival. No one imagined back then that the exhibition, held every five years, would develop into the world's most important forum for contemporary art. Although the name Documenta stands for an all-encompassing vision, each of the 11 exhibitions to date has been unique, with its own aims and atmosphere. The history of Documenta reflects the past half century's diverse artistic and curatorial approaches, philosophies, and forms of presentation, as well as a broad array of political and social currents. This two-volume publication looks into that history and the phenomenon of Documenta in several ways. ... |

Friedrich Christian Flick Collection Im Hamburger Bahnof»rank: 1428298by: 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 house of ... |

Marcel Broodthaers: This is a Pipe: Ceci Est Une Pipe, Dies Ist Eine Pfeife»rank: 1550002by: Marcel Broodthaers
: :Description: 'This pipe stands at the beginning of my adventure. . .' --Marcel Broodthaers. This unpublished Marcel Broodthaers project was conceived in 1970 in reaction to the 1968 publication of the now famous Michel Foucault essay 'This is not a pipe.' The Magritte painting 'Ceci n'est pas une pipe,' which sparked this particular semiotic run-around, was of paramount importance to Broodthaers. Reconstituted through fragments recovered from the original project, which Broodthaers aborted in 1972, this book returns to the core of Broodthaers' complex artistic questioning and its entanglements with post-structuralist discourse. |
