Florine Stettheimer
The American artist Florine Stettheimer. although little known today, is considered to have had a significant influence on the development of modernism in 20th-century American art. The paintings she produced after World War I and before her death in 1944, have been described by art historian Linda Nochlin as rococo subversive. In elegant, refined images, Stettheimer developed a vanguard approach not only to such traditional genres as portraiture, but to fundamental concepts of time-space continuity.
Remote Viewing
New painting and drawing is the subject ofRemote Viewing, which accompanies an exhibition at the Whitney Museum. The book brings together eight artists, some well known, others emerging, all of whom create new worlds that exist somewhere between abstraction and representation. Each of the featured artists-Franz Ackermann, Steve DiBenedetto, Carroll Dunham, Ati Maier, Julie Mehretu, Matthew Ritchie, Alexander Ross, and Terry Winters -is part of a revitalization that has been seen in recent years in contemporary painting and drawing. Their work grapples with the overwhelming abundance of information now present in our lives, information that is historical, scientific, technological, geographical, visual, literary, hallucinogenic, mass-media, or otherwise, and shares a fascination with assertive color, invented form, and the construction of dynamic spaces. The book includes color illustrations of works in the exhibition as well as studio photography of each artist.
Outland
The seminal work by photographer and artist Roger Ballen, re‐released in an expanded edition with never‐before-seen images from Ballen’s archive. The culmination of nearly 20 years of work, Outland marked Ballen’s move from documentary photography into the realms of fiction and propelled him into the international spotlight. Disturbing, exciting and impossible to forget, Ballen’s images captured people living on the fringes of South African society. His powerful psychological studies influenced a generation of artists and still resonate today. First published in 2001, Outland is back in print and expanded to include 50 never‐before‐seen images from Ballen’s archive with illuminating new commentary from the artist himself.
Rachel Harrison Life Hack
"The work of the sculptor Rachel Harrison is both the zeitgeist and the least digestible in contemporary art. It may also be the most important, owing to an originality that breaks a prevalent spell in an art world of recycled genres, styles, and ideas."--Peter Schjeldahl, The New Yorker In her sculptures, room-sized installations, drawings, photographs, and artist's books, Rachel Harrison (b. 1966) delves into themes of celebrity culture, pop psychology, history, and politics. This publication, created in close collaboration with the artist, explores twenty-five years of her practice and is the first comprehensive monograph on Harrison in nearly a decade. Its centerpiece is an in-depth plat...
