Art and Posthistory
From the 1990s until just before his death, the legendary art critic and philosopher Arthur C. Danto carried out extended conversations about contemporary art with the prominent Italian critic Demetrio Paparoni. Their discussions ranged widely over a vast range of topics, from American pop art and minimalism to abstraction and appropriationism. Yet they continually returned to the concepts at the core of Danto’s thinking—posthistory and the end of aesthetics—provocative notions that to this day shape questions about the meaning and future of contemporary art. Art and Posthistory presents these rich dialogues and correspondence, testifying to the ongoing importance of Danto’s ideas. I...

Morten Viskum
With a series of controversial projects, Morten Viskum (b. 1965) has established himself as the artist Norway's cultural media likes to discuss most. Through his performative works he has shed light on a fear of the ephemeral and the strange that pervades our culture. Employing unconventional tools-including medical equipment, dead animals, cancer cells, and a deceased man's hand-he challenges both the relationship between science and ethics, and what art can morally embrace. Viskum works with installation, performance, photography, and painting, and has been represented at various exhibitions nationally and internationally.

Barrioquinto
The first comprehensive monograph on the life and career of the Filipino artist Andres Barrioquinto, a rising star of the contemporary Southeast Asian art scene. The volume deals with the complex universe of the artist (Manila, 1975), who combines elements deriving from the iconography and aesthetic of Baroque with Japanese woodcuts (ukiyo-e), reinterpreted in a Pop style. In his paintings, men, women, and anthropomorphic animals are shown in forests plentiful with butterflies and birds, introducing the theme of vanitas in a context of strong visual impact.
The Keith Haring Show
Art icon of the 1980s, Keith Haring first gained attention in the late 1970s for his drawings in the New York City subways. Over the next decade his subway graffiti, murals, sculptures and paintings gained worldwide recognition. Harings meteoritic artistic career spanned from 1980 to 1990, and in this brief period his boundless energy led him to produce an enormous quantity of legendary works. Here Harings work is re-examined from the perspective of his relations not just with Pop Art and the Neo-Pop movement, but also with Flemish painting and the historic avant-garde movements, reflecting the evolution of his creative poetics and the legacy he left.
Gottfried Helnwein: The Epiphany of the Displaced
A massive survey of the disquieting paintings of Austrian provocateur Gottfried Helnwein This substantial volume is the most complete monograph to date on the work of the provocative Austrian painter, photographer, filmmaker, performer and set designer Gottfried Helnwein (born 1948). Helwein's work--whether it be his hyperrealistic images of distressed children or his bandaged self-portraits--expresses a traumatic human condition barely suppressed by the conventions of polite society. His unflinching approach to his subject matter has earned him prominent fans and detractors alike. As Klaus Schröder, director of the Albertina Museum in Vienna puts it, "Gottfried Helnwein shakes people at their core." Edited by art critic Demetrio Paparoni, Gottfriend Helnwein: The Epiphany of the Displaced features a preface by the actor Sean Penn, essays by Schröder and gallerist Martin Muller, and an interview with the artist conducted by experimental philosopher Jonathon Keats.
Nyoman Masriadi
The work of Nyoman Masriadi, one of the leading Indonesian contemporary artists from the post-Suharto era. This stunning volume comprehensively tackles Nyoman Masriadi's artistic universe, which is considered to be among those that have most strongly impacted the definition of the new art of Southeast Asia. He is Southeast Asia's most well-received contemporary artist at auctions, and the first living Southeast Asian artist whose work has topped $1 million at auction. Masriadi's paintings frequently depict superhuman figures whose narratives, while rooted in Indonesian cultural history, offer witty and often biting social commentary on contemporary life and global pop culture. Through his expert control of light, shadow, and volume, Masriadi endows the monumental characters of his works with a sculptural, almost three-dimensional presence. Sometimes these characters appear in the archetypal roles of comic-book heroes, cowboys, soldiers, and athletes; but just as frequently, they are simply powerfully built people engaged in solitary acts of strength or captured in private moments of vulnerability.
