Artists in My Life
"A collection of intimate and conversational accounts of the artists that have impacted the poet activist Margaret Randall on her own creative journey. As makers of art, social commentators, women in a world dominated by male values, and in solitude or collaboration with communities, each artist is seen in the context of the larger artistic arena. Through her reflections, Randall also takes on questions about visual art as a whole and its lasting political influence on the world"--
Shinkichi Tajiri
Japanese artist Shinkichi Tajiri (1923-2009) led a life and created a body of work that are both rich in paradox. Born in America to Japanese parents, he began his career in Paris, then lived in the Netherlands for half a century. This collection presents six essays that offer various perspectives on the ways that Tajiri's complicated, overlapping personal identities were transformed through his art into seemingly universal themes.
New Histories of Art in the Global Postwar Era
This book maps key moments in the history of postwar art from a global perspective. The reader is introduced to a new globally oriented approach to art, artists, museums and movements of the postwar era (1945–70). Specifically, this book bridges the gap between historical artistic centers, such as Paris and New York, and peripheral loci. Through case studies, previously unknown networks, circulations, divides and controversies are brought to light. From the development of Ethiopian modernism, to the showcase of Brazilian modernity, this book provides readers with a new set of coordinates and a reassessment of well-trodden art historical narratives around modernism. This book will be of interest to scholars in art historiography, art history, exhibition and curatorial studies, modern art and globalization.
The Cobra Movement in Postwar Europe
This book examines the art of Cobra, a network of poets and artists from Copenhagen, Brussels, and Amsterdam (1948–1951). Although the name stood for the organizers’ home cities, the Cobra artists hailed from countries in Europe, Africa, and the United States. This book investigates how a group of struggling young artists attempted to reinvent the international avant-garde after the devastation of the Second World War, to create artistic experiments capable of facing the challenges of postwar society. It explores how Cobra’s experimental, often collective art works and publications relate to broader debates in Europe about the use of images to commemorate violent events, the possibility of free expression in an art world constrained by Cold War politics, the breakdown of primitivism in an era of colonial independence movements, and the importance of spontaneity in a society increasingly dominated by the mass media. This book will be of interest to scholars in art history, 20th-century modern art, avant-garde arts, and European history.

Ultra
'Ultramodernen' en 'Ultra' was de naam van een reeks concerten die, van september 1980 tot en met april 1981, plaatsvond in jongerensociëteit Oktopus aan de Amsterdamse Keizersgracht, en die nationaal en internationaal veel aandacht trok. Bands als Minny Pops, The Young Lions, Mekanik Kommando en Nasmak maakten er furore. Ultra groeide uit tot een verzamelnaam voor Nederlandse bands en artiesten die deel uitmaakten van de 'post-punk experimentele pop', een muziekstijl waarin de energie en 'do-it-yourself '-filosofie van punk gecombineerd werd met ideeën en technieken die ontleend waren aan avant-garde kunst, jazz, elektronische en moderne klassieke muziek. Ultra is een unieke verzameling verhalen, interviews, teksten en foto's, met als rode draad het Don Quichoteaanse relaas van Harold Schellinx' eigen Werdegang als jonge muzikant en als redacteur van tijdschrift Vinyl, in het Amsterdam, London en Brussel van de vroege jaren tachtig.

Lost, Loose and Loved
This broad collective exhibition reflects the vitality and vivacity of the art scene in all its complexity, displaying the different creative trends which took hold in the city inside and outside the School of Paris at a time of fervent political debate, held to the backdrop of the new global stage opened by the Cold War. From a broad array of artistic fields, from painting and sculpture to jazz, literature and film, foreign artists dealt with mounting tension by bringing their approaches and hopes to the Parisian milieu in an attempt to connect with the tradition of international modernism but without losing a grip on their own cultural identity.
