Objects of Desire
Published to accompany an exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, this text re-evaluates the genre of still life in terms of both subject matter and style. Margit Rowell, Chief Curator of The Museum of Modern Art's Department of Drawings, explains the qualities which have made the genre so attractive and enduring to artists such as Matisse, Picasso, Oldenburg and Christo. Questioning the common view of the still life as a minor art form, Rowell demonstrates how the paintings offer a unique index of their maker's interests, formal concerns and times.
Romance Scamming: an Internet Journey Through a Mine Field of Deception
This book tells a bazaar story of romance scamming, deceit, lies, betrayal, and theft that takes place every day around the world through the medium of the internet. This book is mostly composed of emails with dates and "times" from the beginning of the story to the end. This romance story came out of the clouds when all the necessary conditions were placed for a scam to work & happened in the internet. The romantic fraud happened spontaneously. When it was found that the parties could not meet, a request was made to have the money returned ($710.00), but there was no answer from Vicky, and eventually she terminated her email address, and could not be reached.

Sigmar Polke
Sigmar Polke's thirty-five-year career, during which he has produced a vast range of work in all mediums, has earned him a reputation as one of the most significant artists of his generation. Born in 1941, he began his creative output around 1963 in Dusseldorf during a time of enormous social, cultural, and artistic changes in Germany and elsewhere. Few of his works demonstrate more vividly his imagination, sardonic wit, and subversive approach than the drawings, watercolors, and gouaches produced during the 1960s and early 1970s. Embedded in these images are incisive and parodic commentaries on consumer society, the postwar political scene in Germany, and classic artistic conventions.

Constantin Brancusi, 1876-1957
In twentieth-century sculpture, one name towers above all others: Romanian-born Constantin Brancusi (1876-1957). This book accompanies a major retrospective exhibition of Brancusi's sculpture, drawings, and photographs, organized by the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris. Profusely illustrated throughout, with photographs by the artist and images culled from a wide range of archival sources, it is the most definitive work yet published on this influential artist. The authors provide a detailed reassessment of Brancusi's work, incorporating and extending the profound revisions in scholarship that have been taking place since the last major retrospective in 1969-70.
