I Stand in My Place With My Own Day Here
I Stand in My Place with My Own Day Here features essays by more than fifty renowned international writers who consider thirteen monumental works of art created for The New School between 1930 and the present. The nucleus of The New School's Art Collection, these commissions—ranking among the finest site-specific works in New York City—range from murals by José Clemente Orozco and Thomas Hart Benton to installations by Agnes Denes, Kara Walker, Alfredo Jaar, Glenn Ligon, Sol LeWitt, and Martin Puryear + Michael Van Valkenburgh, among others. Providing a kaleidoscopic view into these works, this richly illustrated volume explores each installation through three to four essays written by ...
The Spirit of Painting
Catalogues Cai Guo-Qiang's recent exhibition at the Prado, the first in over thirty years to focus solely on his painting, and the first time that an artist had created on-site at the Prado. It explores Cai Guo-Qiang's ongoing dialogue with El Greco and the way he established a relationship with the great masters represented in the Prado. It reproduces nearly thirty paintings made with gunpowder, eight of which were ignited on-site at the Salón de Reinos. It also features an oil and an acrylic created at the start of his activities as a painter; and various sketches and drawings on matchboxes by his father, Cai Ruiqin, who steered him towards painting. The catalogue includes texts and essays by Miguel Zugaza, Alejandro Vergara, Kosme Barañano and Cai Guo-Qiang himself, in which he reflects on his life and artistic career and on the principles and concerns that have governed the evolution of his work.
Eduardo Chillida - Praise of Iron
The 3 volume set maps how Chillida's use of materials and technique varies, chronicling the artist's sculpting career started with iron and steel, then timber, marble, alabaster, concrete, and terracotta between 1950's and 1970's. The name Chillida is generally connected with heavy, massive monumental sculptures but these books reveal he produced some very different work. Each graphic work is catalogued with title, date, number produced, production method, size, and type of paper.
Architecture in Dialogue with an Activated Ground
Architecture in Dialogue with an Activated Ground sets out to validate the role of the unreasonable in the design process. Using case study projects, architect Urs Bette gives an insight into the epistemological processes of his creative practice, and unveils the strategies he deploys in order to facilitate the poetic aspects of architecture within a discourse whose evaluation parameters predominantly involve reason. Themes discussed include the emergence of space from the staged opposition between the architectural object and the site, and the relationship between emotive cognition and analytic synthesis in the design act. In both cases, there is a necessary engagement with forms of ‘unre...

Art Books
First published in 1997. For this second edition of Art Books: A Basic Bibliography of Monographs on Artists, the vast number of new books published since 1985 was surveyed and evaluated. This has resulted in the selection of 3,395 additional titles. These selections, reflective of the increase in the monographic literature on artists during the last ten years, are evidence of the activities of a larger number of art historians in more countries worldwide, of the increasingly diverse and ambitious exhibition programs of museums whose number has also increased dramatically, and also of a lively international art market and the attendant gallery activities. The selections of the first edition have been reviewed, errors have been corrected and important new editions and reprints have been noted. The second edition contains 278 names of artists not represented in the first edition.
Henri Matisse
First Published in 1996. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.
Alain Kirili / Edward Steichen
The Musee d'Orsay invites contemporary artists to dialogue with its collections by picking a work they feel close to. This is an opportunity both to see the collections in a fresh light and to give a novel resonance to their own still active modernity. Here Alain Kirli, fascinated by Rodin's energy, has chosen the series of photographs Steichen took of his Balzac. Finding in Rodin's masterpiece a referent he could relate to, he presents a set of five schulptures: A Throw of the Dice Will Never Abolish Sculpture.
