Ken Price: Drawings
Though Los Angeles artist Ken Price (1935-2012) is best known as a sculptor in ceramic, drawing was always a central component of his art: "For me drawing is really flexible," he once stated, "and I use it in different ways. It's my way of developing ideas." Ken Price: Drawings brings out this facet of Price's work fully for the first time. Featuring 78 of Price's works on paper--all reproduced for the first time, many at actual size--this book is the most comprehensive ever published on the subject. Technical innovations like five-color printing capture Price's drawings in all their wayward vitality. From preparatory works, like Price's early 1960s drawings exploring forms and colors for his abstract sculptures, to his 2000s landscapes featuring wild scenes of erupting volcanoes, cyclonic skies and turbulent seas, Ken Price: Drawings offers a long-overdue survey of Price's work on paper.
Ron Nagle
Ron Nagle: Getting to No' features twenty-five new sculptures, most of them no larger than six inches in any dimension. According to Nagle, sculpture at this scale ?can allude to a much bigger place, because it?s so small your imagination has to fill in all that space that?s not there.? Although he works in traditional mediums like ceramic and porcelain, he combines them with other materials, including epoxy resin and catalyzed polyurethane, to create forms that cannot be achieved in clay alone. 0Inspiration for Nagle?s work often comes from unusual sources, but his work is also grounded in tradition. He frequently cites the influence of shibui, an aesthetic of contrast and balance that is h...

Peter Hujar
These pictures provide us with a glipse of a New York that has all but disappeared, one populated by the late-night demimonde, curbing cobblestones, and landfills before the coming of Battery Park City. Hujar left behind his own unique record of a worls now lost, in a time before AIDS and a downtown before gentrification.--[Source inconnue].

New York; the New Art Scene
"Inspired by the strong American presence at the 1964 Venice Biennale, the Italian photographer Ugo Mulas made three extended visits to New York over the following years. The result, a massive, handsomely designed volume called New York: The New Art Scene, captures the art world at one of its most volatile and vivid peaks. ... The artists posed for [Mulas--and the book is peppered with terrifically dashing portraits--but more often they went about their business, making art, making dinner, entertaining, carrying on. With more than 500 photos reproduced in heavily inked, knockout black and white, the book has a marvelous scope."--The Book of 101 Books : Seminal Photographic Books of the Twentieth Century / Edited by Andrew Roth. New York: PPP Editions in association with Ruth Horowitz, 2001.
