Friendship without Borders
Across half a century, from the division of Germany through the end of the Cold War, a cohort of thirty women from the small German town of Schönebeck in what used to be the GDR circulated among themselves a remarkable collective archive of their lives: a Rundbrief, or bulletin, containing hundreds of letters and photographs. This book draws on that unprecedented resource, complemented by a set of interviews, to paint a rich portrait of “ordinary” life in postwar Germany. It shows how these women—whether reflecting on their experiences as Nazi-era schoolchildren or witnessing reunification—were united by their complex interactions with official power and their commitment to sustaining a shared German identity as they made the most of their everyday lives in both the GDR and the Federal Republic.
New York Magazine
New York magazine was born in 1968 after a run as an insert of the New York Herald Tribune and quickly made a place for itself as the trusted resource for readers across the country. With award-winning writing and photography covering everything from politics and food to theater and fashion, the magazine's consistent mission has been to reflect back to its audience the energy and excitement of the city itself, while celebrating New York as both a place and an idea.

Deborah Kass
Midcareer retrospective survey of Kass's career, from her early landscape paintings, to her "Art History Paintings" series (1989-1992), through "The Warhol Project" (1992-2000), to her paintings of the last decade, "feel good paintings for feel bad times" (2002- ).
Terry Winters
The American artist Terry Winters (b 1949), known for his sensuously abstract paintings and drawings, is also a distinguished printmaker. He has explored a wide range of printing methods and techniques, including intaglio, lithography, screenprinting, woodcut, and linoleum cut, and has worked at such notable print ateliers as Universal Limited Art Editions in West Islip, New York, and the Aldo Crommelynck studio in Paris. Winters's early works, sometimes described as organic abstraction, resonate with echoes of the natural world, while his more recent prints contain layered abstract fields that address how consciousness relates to visual form. This catalogue, accompanying a retrospective exhibition of Winters's prints, will consist of a short essay, a selected bibliography, and a checklist of approximately 90 works. The prints, all from the collection of the Metropolitan Museum, will be on display from 12th June to 30th September 2001.
Postmodernism and Its Critics
John McGowan brings a fresh perspective to ongoing debates about the political implications of postmodernist thought and the relationship of intellectuals to contemporary culture. In addition to providing a comprehensive overview of the philosophical context of postmodernism, he considers the kinds of freedom and oppositional politics that are possible under postmodern conditions.
Figuring the Past
Figuring the past" geeft een nieuwe kijk op kostuumdrama's die aan het begin van deze eeuw gemaakt zijn en onderzoekt de manieren waarop de hedendaagse cinema het historische verleden herschept. De auteur verkent de relatie tussen visuele motieven en culturele representaties in een aantal belangrijke films van onder anderen James Ivory, Martin Scorsese en Jane Campion. Door te kijken naar de maniëristische voorkeur voor citatie, detail en stilering, pleit de auteur voor een esthetiek van fragmenten en figuren die centraal staan in de historische kostuumdrama's als een0internationaal genre. In gedetailleerde casestudies worden drie belangrijke kenmerken van het genre - het huis, het tableau en de brief - in relatie gebracht met de veranderende begrippen van visuele stijl, melodrama en geslacht.
The Jean-Michel Basquiat Reader
The first comprehensive collection of the words and works of a movement-defining artist. Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960–1988) burst onto the art scene in the summer of 1980 as one of approximately one hundred artists exhibiting at the 1980 Times Square Show in New York City. By 1982, at the age of twenty-one, Basquiat had solo exhibitions in galleries in Italy, New York, and Los Angeles. Basquiat's artistic career followed the rapid trajectory of Wall Street, which boomed from 1983 to 1987. In the span of just a few years, this Black boy from Brooklyn had become one of the most famous American artists of the 1980s. The Jean-Michel Basquiat Reader is the first comprehensive sourcebook on the ar...
