Artists' Estates
Artists' Estates offers a fascinating journey into the complex and competitive art world through the distinctive lens of those who deal with the paintings, prints, and sculpture that artists leave behind after their deaths. Bringing together interviews conducted by Magda Salvesen, the widow of the second-generation Abstract Expressionist painter Jon Schueler, this unique book provides a window into the goals and desires, the conflicts and frustrations, and the emotional and financial strains that confront widows, companions, sons, and daughters as the heirs to artists' estates. The judiciously arranged and edited interviews also address the benefits and liabilities of foundations and trusts ...

Color as Field
Color field painting, which emerged in the United States in the 1950s, is based on radiant, uninflected hues. Exemplified by the work of Helen Frankenthaler, Morris Louis, Kenneth Noland, Jules Olitski, Larry Poons, and Frank Stella, among others, these stunningly beautiful and impressively scaled paintings constitute one of the crowning achievements of postwar American abstract art. Color as Field offers a long-overdue reevaluation of this important aspect of American abstract painting. The authors examine how color field painting rejects the gestural, layered, and hyper-emotional approach typical of Willem de Kooning and his followers, yet at the same time develops and expands ideas about all-overness and the primacy of color posited by the work of other members of the abstract expressionist generation, such as Adolph Gottlieb, Hans Hofmann, Robert Motherwell, Jackson Pollock, and Mark Rothko. From the fresh historical standpoint of the 21st century, this fascinating reassessment ranges across the artists’ individual approaches and their commonalities, concluding with insights into the ongoing legacy of post-1970s color field painting among present-day artists.

Pollock
„Am Anfang die weiße Leinwand, leer, dann ein vorsichtiger Beginn, die Farbe ergießt sich aus dem Topf auf die weiße Fläche...“ Hans Namuth. Jackson Pollock wird 1912 in einem kleinen Dorf in Wyoming geboren. Er verkörpert alle sich um das entstehende Amerika rankenden Mythen, das sich mit der Realität des ausgehenden 19. und des beginnenden 20. Jahrhunderts, dessen Modernität alle Bezugspunkte zerstört, auseinandersetzt. Wie in einem Roman erobert Pollock New York und hat, dank des Federal Art Projekt, schnell Erfolg und einen guten Ruf. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wird er zum ersten großen Star der amerikanischen Malerei. Hofiert und umschmeichelt, wird Pollock, wie es De Kooni...
