Six Years
In Six Years Lucy R. Lippard documents the chaotic network of ideas that has been labeled conceptual art. The book is arranged as an annotated chronology into which is woven a rich collection of original documents—including texts by and taped discussions among and with the artists involved and by Lippard, who has also provided a new preface for this edition. The result is a book with the character of a lively contemporary forum that offers an invaluable record of the thinking of the artists—a historical survey and essential reference book for the period.
Art
The last few decades have witnessed an explosion in ideas and theories on art. Art itself has never been so topical, but much recent thinking remains inaccessible and difficult to use. This book assesses the work of those thinkers (including artists) who have had a major impact on making, criticizing and interpreting art since the 1960s. With entries by leading international experts, this book presents a concise, critical appraisal of thinkers and their ideas about art and its place in the wider cultural context. A guide to the key thinkers who shape today's world of art, this book is a vital reference for anyone interested in modern and contemporary art, its history, philosophy and practice...

Precision and Madness
At last, the broader movements of twentieth-century Swiss art--and the individual artists behind them--are tracked through the present day in one standard-setting publication. Swiss Made: Precision and Madness sets the famous Swiss tendency toward precision and order alongside the tendency toward obstinacy and chaos, pairing canonical works with pieces made within the past 40 years. Provocative pairs include Max Bill and John Armleder, Ferdinand Hodler and Urs Lüthi, Alberto Giacometti and Rémy Zaugg, Louis Soutter and Martin Disler, Robert Müller and Sylvie Fleury, Paul Klee and Silvia Bächli, Adolph Wölfli and Ugo Rondinone. Tensions emerge between the focused and the expansive, over everyday life in the Swiss state, and naturally over the mountains. Swiss Made: Precision and Madness is of interest on its own analytic terms, and as an excellent overview of the country's art since 1850.
Marcel Broodthaers
The poet and artist Marcel Broodthaers (1924-76) is widely recognized as a key figure in 20th century art who questioned the nature of art, the role of the artist, the functioning of the museum and of the art market. This book sets out Broodthaers's strategy for artistic success and examines the dialogue into which he entered with his contemporaries and predecessors in 19th century French poetry, Pop and Conceptual Art, including Stéphane Mallarmé, Charles Baudelaire, Marcel Duchamp and René Magritte. It provides a broad overview of his objects, paintings, films, slides, books and installations, and his focus upon relationships, also central to Post-Structuralist and postmodern theories. ...
Have We An American Art?
Amerikanische Malerei wird erst seit knapp fünfzig Jahren als eigenständig und maßgeblich von der europäischen Kulturszene wahrgenommen. In den späten 1940er Jahren trat New York neben Paris als Kunstmetropole der westlichen Welt und Ende der 50er Jahre gelangte eine "neue amerikanische Malerei" in der Gestalt des Abstrakten Expressionismus zu einer internationalen Führungsposition. "Have we an American Art?" ist eine analytische Darstellung dieses Wandlungsprozesses innerhalb des transatlantischen Verhältnisses nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg – eines Wandlungsprozesses, der nicht nur kunst- bzw. kulturgeschichtlicher Natur war, sondern mit tiefgreifenden politischen Kräfteverschiebunge...
Nordrhein-Westfalen I
Darstellung der reichen Kulturlandschaft des Rheinlands. Das Spektrum umfasst durch Industrialisierung geformte Stadtlandschaften im Ruhrgebiet, mittelalterliche Kirchenbauten, modernen Kirchenbau, Burgen und Schlösser, Industrieanlagen und Verkehrsbauten. Als Georg Dehio 1912 im V. Band des Handbuchs der Deutschen Kunstdenkmäler die Region des Rheinlandes vorstellte, galt sein Augenmerk den Monumenten der alten Kulturlandschaft am Niederrhein sowie der angrenzenden Gebiete. Der neue Band trägt dem Wandel der Handelsstädte, weltlichen Residenzen und geistlichen Zentren durch die Umwälzungen im 19. Jahrhundert sowie den Veränderungen und Verlusten in Folge des Zweiten Weltkriegs Rechnun...
