Designed Landscapes
Designed Landscapes is a case-by-case study of 37 significant, existing works of landscape design worldwide, largely constructed since the Renaissance. Being an informative and easy-to-read reference volume for practitioners and students alike, it presents key precedents in landscape architecture using site plans and recent photographs to showcase each project. Organised and presented in 12 sections based on project type, each project is examined based on date, previous site condition, designer(s), design intentions, current composition, unique features, ownership and management, and comparable projects. Each chapter offers an insightful critique of the featured projects. Written by the auth...
Modern Sculpture
"Artists of any ilk can be extremely opinionated when it comes to what they do, how they do it, and what it might mean. Sculptors are no exception. Modern Sculpture: Artists in Their Own Words presents a selection of manifestos, documents, statements, articles, and interviews from more than ninety subjects, including an ample selection of contemporary sculptors. With this book, editor Douglas Dreishpoon defers to sculptors, whose varied points of view illuminate the medium's perpetual transformation-from object to action, concept to phenomenon-over the course of two centuries. Each chapter progresses in chronological sequence to highlight the dominant stylistic, philosophical, and thematic threads that unite each kindred group. The result is a distinctive, artist-centric history and survey of sculpture that showcases the expansive dimensions and malleability of the medium"--

A fully illustrated overview of the work of David Nash, a contemporary British sculptor famous for his work with natural materials.
Drukwerk
Karel Marten's work occupies a unique place in the present European art and design landscape. While working in the tradition of Dutch modernism, he maintains distance from the main developments of his time: from both the practices of routinized Modernism and the facile reactions against it. His work is personal and experimental, while at the same time publicly answerable. This book presents Martens graphic design oeuvre in reproductions of startling fidelity, and described in informal captions. Printed on uncoated paper and Chinese-bound, the book itself has a compelling tactile quality. For this long-awaited second edition, twenty-four pages have been added to cover Marten's most recent work.
Neo-avant-garde in Nederland
In 1955 werd het tijdschrift "Museumjournaal" opgericht in een poging het algmene publiek te winnen voor de twintigste-eeuwse kunst. Binnen tien jaar groeide het blad uit tot dé informatiebron voor eigentijdse avant-gardekunst in ons land. Rogier Schumacher analyseert deze groei. Hij toont aan dat de belangrijkste auteurs in het tijdschrift zich lieten leiden door het lokale kunstklimaat en door nieuwe ontwikkelingen in de internationale kunst. Dit vertaalde zich in baanbrekende tentoonstellingsprojecten die het Nederlandse moderne kunstklimaat van de jaren zestig tot een van de levendigste in West-Europa maakten.
Richard Serra Sculpture
"This book offers a detailed presentation of Richard Serra's entire career, from his early experiments with materials like rubber, neon, and lead to the environmentally scaled steel works of recent years, including three monumental new sculptures created for the exhibition that this book accompanies."--BOOK JACKET.

De vertrouweling
Sam van Deventer (1888-1972) was de zielsverwant van Helene Kröller-Müller. De twintig jaar oudere kunstverzamelaarster schreef hem meer dan drieduizend brieven. Hij nam de plaats in van haar eigen vier kinderen. Ze bracht hem liefde voor kunst, esthetiek en Duitse cultuur bij, maar eiste daartegenover onvoorwaardelijke toewijding. Ook zakenman Anton Kröller vertrouwde in toenemende mate op Van Deventer bij zijn financiële schimmenspel, waarbij onwetende beleggers de opbouw van landgoed De Hoge Veluwe bekostigden en het familieconcern ten onder ging. Tijdens de Duitse bezetting kreeg Sam van Deventer de leiding over het Kröller-Müller Museum en De Hoge Veluwe. Hij toonde zich Duitsgezi...
