Babylon in a Jar
These diverse poems of past and present, of order and disorder, press on with the forceful explorations that Andrew Hudgins began with his first book, SAINTS AND STRANGERS, a runner-up for the Pulitzer Prize in 1985. The wide-ranging poems in this new volume respond with passion to the natural world, to family life, to history, to inheritance: before he flooded the rubble, he swept up the dust of Babylon / to give as presents, and he stored it in a jar.

Roy Lichtenstein
The first book-length study to examine the materials and techniques used in the fabrication and painting of the American pop artist Roy Lichtenstein’s outdoor sculpture. Vibrant color was essential to the paintings of the American pop artist Roy Lichtenstein (1923–1997), and when he began exploring the creation of outdoor sculpture in the late 1970s, vivid hues remained an important part of his artistic vocabulary. Today, preserving these remarkable works after they have endured decades in outdoor environments around the world is an issue of pressing concern. This abundantly illustrated volume is based on extensive archival research of Lichtenstein’s studio materials, interviews with his assistants, and a thorough technical analysis of the sculpture Three Brushstrokes. The book concludes with a chapter showing various options for the care, conservation, and restoration of his sculptural works, making this an essential resource for conservators, curators, and others interested both in the iconic artist and modern sculpture in general.
Dao Entrepreneurship
This books presents an artistic and aesthetic perspective on auteur-driven entrepreneurial management that is overlooked in traditional organizational analysis. It suggests that the organization of creative development is less about organizing a course of events and more about giving form to acts that in themselves provide a course of development without being either finalistic or deterministic. Looking at an auteur-driven entrepreneurial enterprise such as the collaborative artistic enterprise of visual artist and theatre director Robert Wilson, reflected in fashion designer Dame Vivienne Westwood’s studio practices, the book demonstrates the significance of aesthetic acts of giving form for collective organisational intuition. Theoretically, the work moreover builds on its original analyses through an exploration of Bergsonian ontology and Daoism methodology. In particular, it introduces the three central concepts of faith, vigour and form as the main elements of an intuitive artistic entrepreneurship: faith being its foundation, vigour its action and form its aesthetic.
