Provocations
"Provocations, edited and introduced by the art critic and curator Stuart Morgan, is a selection from 1963 to 1981 of writings by John Coplans and includes essays on Classic Modernism, Photography, and Pop Art, chapters from his books Kurt Schwitters (written with Walter Hopps) and Serial Imagery, and his controversial report on the decline of the Pasadena Art Museum"--
A Body
For 33 years, Coplans has photographed his body nude, from the age of 58 to the age of 81. Mythic in scope and unflinching in its examination of one person's humanness and mortality, in this sequence of 115 duotone images, Coplans transcends the boundaries of photography as an art. Epic, grotesque, bittersweet, sensual, provocative, funny and even, at times, absurd, Coplans achieves a visual meditation on the compelling relationship between sensuality, ageing and death that is unparalleled in the history of the medium.

Body Parts
Made in response to 9/11, esteemed photographer John Coplans offers a startling book that builds on his earlier work, A Body. Taking two separate images of his own body parts and joining them together, Coplans has produced a series of images that reference the shocking alienation of life from bodies that came with the horrific search through ground zero for the remains of the dead. Produced while Coplans himself was losing his own eyesight, this book represents not only a monumental accomplishment for him, but a testimony to the way that we see art - with our minds.

Körper Als Protest
Body as Protest highlights the photographic representation of the human body as a radical expression of protest against social, political and aesthetic norms. Centering on a series by John Coplans, it also includes works by Hannah Wilke, Ketty La Rocca, Hannah Villiger, Bruce Nauman, Robert Mapplethorpe and Tatiana Lecomte.
La magie des couleurs d'Andy Warhol
L'art et la manière est une des toutes premières collections de monographies destinée à la jeunesse. Chaque ouvrage aborde la vie et l'œuvre d'un peintre de manière claire et ludique, en allant toujours à l'essentiel, et propose aux jeunes lecteurs, dès l'âge de huit ans, une approche sensible et concrète de l'Art. De son vivant, Andy Warhol était déjà une légende. Bercé dans son enfance par le mythe du rêve américain, il en est la parfaite illustration. Enfant d'émigrés pauvres, il s'est hissé grâce à son talent, bien sûr, qui bouscula les conventions, mais aussi à beaucoup de culot et d'intelligence au rang de star de l'art contemporain. L'œuvre d'Andy Warhol est le fruit de son époque et un produit de la société américaine. Son univers, c'est Superman, le Dollar, Marilyn Monroe, Coca-Cola... C'est l'Amérique ! Un livre pour partir à la découverte du monde pop et coloré d'une des dernières icônes du XXe siècle. 1
Challenging Art
""Artforum "radically transformed the rules of the game. . . . This lively book, in which gossip becomes oral history, records how and why. . . . Newman should be commended."-"Artforum" "Newman's book [makes] the activities of a handful of magazine editors and art critics seem totally fascinating . . . [It] provides an incredible amount of information about the evolution of American art, perhaps even more than can be found in the pages of Artforum itself."-"Art in America" "[I]ncisive and absorbing . . . An absolutely indispensable resource for anyone studying the field."?Irving Sandler, "American Art of the Sixties" "An accurate, honest, evenhanded -portrait of an extraordinary era in the words of the key players at the most important journal. . . . A great read."-Chuck Close, artist
