The Art of Richard Tuttle
Over the past four decades, Richard Tuttle has thrown into question nearly every conceivable artistic convention and critical category to create an enormously inventive body of abstract work - one that embraces and intermingles drawing, painting, collage, book-making, sculpture, and design. From his spare yet enigmatic forms of the 1960s to his complex, multifaceted assemblages and installations of more recent years, Tuttle's primary impetus throughout has been to craft unique objects, using everyday, often ephemeral materials, that demand to be confronted on their own terms. The relentless individuality of his aesthetic vision has earned him standing as one of the most provocative and influ...
Doris Salcedo
A mountain of chairs piled between buildings. Shoes sewn behind animal membranes into a wall. A massive crack running through the floor of Tate Modern. This title includes, over one hundred color illustrations by sculptor Doris Salcedo. It is a testament to the power of one of today's most important international artists.
Sarah Sze
The first and only monograph to give a comprehensive examination of acclaimed American artist Sarah Sze's painting practice Since the late 1990s, Sarah Sze has developed a signature visual language that challenges the static nature of art with a dynamic body of work spanning sculpture, painting, drawing, printmaking, video and installation. In recent years, Sze has returned to painting, the medium in which she was first trained. Comprising constellations of painted and collaged elements, her expansive abstract landscapes explore a visual world that is constantly evolving, degrading, and generating new ways of seeing. Her paintings are highly sought-after and are held in the permanent collect...
Art and the Artist in Society
Art and Artist in Society is a compilation of essays that examine the nexus between artists, the art they create and society. These essays consider how art has changed its form and role both to accommodate newer trends and to fully participate in society. Divided into six thematic sections, the book examines the works of a diverse group of artists working in a range of art forms, such as writers Milan Kundera and Judith Ortiz Cofer, filmmakers Humberto Solás and Walter Salles, performers/photographer Daniel Joseph Martínez and feminist-activists Suzanne Lacy and Leslie Labowitz. The analyses of the work of these artists and other artists offer readers an opportunity to explore a number of important issues in art today, such as the representation of the Other, the exploration of alternative sources of knowledge and the construction of the self. For the array of works it analyzes, this book offers fascinating insights into the art and the artists of the 20th and 21st centuries.

Olafur Eliasson
Dans son essai, la conservatrice Madeleine Grynsztejn étudie la démarche singulière d'un artiste qui mêle l'innovation technologique à son art. Le critique et conservateur Daniel Birnbaum s'entretient avec l'artiste de la disposition des œuvres et de leur environnement immédiat, que celles-ci soient exposées au sein d'un musée ou en extérieur dans un lieu isolé. Dans la section Focus, le théoricien de l'architecture Michael Speaks se penche sur l'œuvre d'Eliasson Green river (1998), qu'il compare au film tourné par Michelangelo Antonioni en 1964, Le Désert rouge. L'artiste a choisi un extrait de L'Évolution créatrice (1907), d'Henri Bergson, qui traite de notre rapport subjectif et visuel à la nature, thème également central de son art. Les écrits d'Olafur Eliasson rassemblent un essai sur le plus banal des sujets, le temps qu'il fait, et une lettre ouverte intitulée "Chers tous ", adressée à tous les observateurs de ses œuvres sensuelles et sophistiquées.
