This anthology, the first of its kind, presents thirty-two texts on contemporary prints and printmaking written from the mid-1980s to the present by authors from across the world. The texts range from history and criticism to creative writing. More than a general survey, they provide a critical topography of artistic printmaking during the period. The book is directed at an audience of international stakeholders in the field of contemporary print, printmaking and printmedia, including art students, practising artists, museum curators, critics, educationalists, print publishers and print scholars. It expands debate in the field and will act as a starting point for further research.
Charles Saatchi is a man with strong opinions on everything from movies to morals, superstition to suicide, and in this book he answers nearly 300 questions from readers and journalists, offering much for everyone to reflect on.
Beyond Belief: Racist, Sexist, Rude, Crude and Dishonest The Golden Age of Madison Avenue -- Charles Saatchi Charles Saatchi's selection of the advertising created before the industry had a conscience demonstrates the radical change in attitudes to women, race, tobacco, size and drugs and much more. Saatchi guides the reader through its seven controversial sections in his inimitable style. 'Although many of the adverts selected are alarming, they present an important portrait of society in the 1940s and 50s -- and thankfully demonstrate that our world today has taken so many steps forward.' AUTHOR: Charles Saatchi has been one of the moving forces of the modern age, one of the most significant figures in global advertising and one of the most influential collectors of contemporary art, while contradictorily remaining a reclusive, even elusive figure.
