Claes Oldenburg, Coosje Van Bruggen
Publisher description.
John Baldessari
In three provocative and thoughtful essays, Coosje van Bruggen traces Baldessari's gradual shift from the creation of imagist mind games in the 1960s, through his intellectual analyses of social codes in the late 1970s and early 1980s, to an emphasis on psychological and emotional content in the late 1980s. In addition, the texts provide a chronological overview of the artist's career and a penetrating study of the use of narrative and dream structure in the work of the 1970s and '80s... Over 400 illustrations document Baldessari's extensive oeuvre and include four artist's projects commissioned for this publication, as well as special pieces created for the book jacket and endpapers, a reflection of Baldessari's interest in books as art. A comprehensive exhibition history, including films and videotapes--previously not compiled--a bibliography, and an index, complete the publication. --From jacket.
Frank O. Gehry
No building was more anticipated than Frank Gehry's stunning new museum in Bilbao, an industrial city in the Basque Country of northern Spain. Philip Johnson, the dean of American architects, declared it "the greatest building of our time," while Sverre Fehn, winner of the 1997 Pritzker Architecture Prize, called the building "fantastic." Gehry's use of nontraditional materials and his sensitivity to the environments of his buildings is legendary; his method of envisioning a building through semiautomatic drawings and handmade models is little known, but provides an immediate entry into his creative process. This book celebrates the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao and details its design process, bringing to life one of Gehry's greatest achievements. Coosje van Bruggen, who has collaborated with Gehry on various architectural and art projects, documents the history of the Guggenheim Bilbao from conception through design and construction. With unique access to the architect and his studio, she uncovers scores of fascinating drawings and working photographs, published here for the first time.
