Bas Jan Ader
On July 9, 1975, Dutch-born artist Bas Jan Ader set sail from Chatham, Massachusetts, on a thirteen-foot sailboat. He was bound for Falmouth, England, on the second leg of a three-part piece titled In Search of the Miraculous. The damaged boat was found south of the western tip of Ireland nearly a year later. Ader was never seen again. Since his untimely death, Ader has achieved mythic status in the art world as a figure literally willing to die for his art. Considering the artist’s legacy and concise oeuvre beyond the romantic and tragic associations that accompany his peculiar end, Alexander Dumbadze resituates Ader’s art and life within the conceptual art world of Los Angeles in the e...
In & Out of Amsterdam
During the 1960s & 1970s, Amsterdam was a nexus of intense art activities, drawing artists from all over the world. 'In & Out Of Amsterdam' presents more than 120 works - including works on paper, installations, photographs & films - by artists who were part of this remarkable creative culture.
In the Good Name of the Company
The Los Angeles-based Colby Poster Printing Company has been a friend to local artists ever since Ed Ruscha's seminal Colby-printed announcement for the 1962 Pasadena Art Museum exhibition New Paintings of Common Objects. Their fluorescent posters have been disseminated on every high-traffic surface across the city, and their collection of over 150 wood and metal typefaces have remained an integral part of Los Angeles' visual aesthetic. This book is a unique tribute to Colby and the visual and cultural impact it continues to hold today.
Allen Ruppersberg
Uniquely among his contemporaries, Allen Ruppersberg (born 1944) has adapted the possibilities of drawing to make idea-based work in populist terms, by uniting his twin loves of illustration and literature. Ruppersberg's drawings, which range from depictions of books from his library and letters by authors such as Joseph Conrad and Ezra Pound to writing, portraits and drawn appropriations of illustrations from magazines, postcards and books, reveal both skill and deftness of conception. This survey of Ruppersberg's early drawings--many reproduced here for the first time--looks at his accomplishments in this medium. An essay by Leslie Jones, curator at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, explores the relationship between drawing and writing in Ruppersberg's work (an idea further explored in and Writing, the companion volume to Drawing).
Allen Ruppersberg Sourcebook
"Acclaimed as a pioneer of Conceptual art, for nearly fifty years Allen Ruppersberg has stretched the parameters of language while appropriating and repurposing objects and images to reanimate both the myths and vernacular narratives of everyday life. This process of experimental revival is also what lies at the heart of Ruppersberg's Sourcebook, as the subtitle conveys."--Foreword.
And Writing
Allen Ruppersberg (born 1944) is among the first generation of American conceptual artists. Allen Ruppersberg: and Writing presents a wide array of the artist's text-based works from the late 1960s through to his most recent projects. A companion volume to Allen Ruppersberg Drawing, it gathers writings (and visual works containing writing) from series and projects such as Al's Café, From the South Forty to the Bunkhouse, Great Acts of the Imagination, Le Mot Juste, Free Poetry, Obits and Studies, and excerpts from The Novel that Writes Itself and Great Speckled Bird. In his introduction to the book, poet Bill Berkson writes: "Ruppersberg's co-exemplars are John Baldessari and Ed Ruscha ... Because they are visual artists first, they present language foremost as image--color, shape, light and scale being conditioned often enough by lettering, the quality of handwriting or font, or the format of a book. The upshot is a blithe alchemical switch of sign into symbol."
