Gifted Junior
A world junior champion, a multiple national champion, Jamie is the best junior in the country. Everyone says he will be world number one; it was just a matter of time. But after years of everything going exactly to plan and with the goal in sight, things take a different course and no one is more surprised by it than the people closest to Jamie. Gifted Junior looks at the complexities of juniors growing up in a sport and the intricate, dynamic relationships between players, parents and coaches. By taking readers on the bumpy road of developing talent, or what is thought to be talent, Stuart Morgan wants to pass over his experiences, to support coaches and to guide parents of juniors in sport.
Provocations
'Provocations', a selction of the writings of John Coplans, esteemed art critic, artist and founder of Artforum, spans the period of 1963-1981. Edited by art critic and curator Stuart Morgan, this collection includes essays on Classic Modernism, Photography and Pop Art, chapters from his now out-of-print books 'Kurt Schwitters' and 'Serial Imagery', as well as his controversial report on the decline of the Pasadena Art Museum. 'What was distinctive about his mind and the way it worked was the ingenuity, curiosity, independence, range...' - Stuart Morgan
Inclinations
When Stuart Morgan died at age 54 in 2002, London's Guardian newspaper wrote, "Stuart Morgan became known during the 1980s in Europe and the United States as the most significant British writer on contemporary art. When he started writing in the 1970s, he knew that, in a country not receptive to contemporary art, the mediating role of criticism needed defending, and he brought to it refinement and audacity. His cadences moved through Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Max Miller, Nathanael West and his beloved William Empson, often in the same essay. The liveliness he brought to his work endeared him to students and those artists whose inner lives he fathomed." This new collection of Morgan's sometimes-diaristic and always illuminating writings and exceptionally well-edited interviews covers artists ranging from Francis Bacon to Joseph Beuys, Pina Bausch, Jeff Koons, Damien Hirst, Richard Prince, Matthew Barney and Tracey Emin.
Rites of Passage
Catalog of an exhibition held June 15Sept. 3, 1995 at the Tate Gallery. Louise Bourgeois
Ghosts of Empire
This fascinating book shows how the later years of the British Empire were characterised by accidental oversights, irresponsible opportunism and uncertain pragmatism.
Rachel Whiteread
Rachel Whiteread's work is based on taking casts from the most commonplace objects. They evoke a combination of familiarity and strangeness, partly because they are not actually casts of the objects but of the spaces around or inside them. House, a casting of the interior spaces of an entire building, stimulated debate among the art world and general public alike.
What the Butler Saw
What the Butler Saw contains essays and interviews by Stuart Morgan, one of Britain's leading art critics. Opening with a group of essays on American artists such as Robert Smithson, Alice Aycock, Dennis Oppenheim and William Wegman, the collection moves on to European art of the eighties, with particular reference to art in Britain and the legacy of conceptual art. From interviews with figures as diverse as Joseph Beuys, Louise Bourgeois, Christian Boltanski, Stephen Campbell and Richard Prince, the essays proceed to younger artists: Steven Pippin, Rachel Whiteread, Miroslaw Balka and, in a previously unpublished text, Damien Hirst. The selection also includes the performance art of Anthony Howell, the cartoons of Glen Baxter, and the self-exposure of Robert Mapplethorpe, Jeff Koons and Madonna.
The Wanderer
It is 1865 when Morgan Lewis heads to St. Louis for what he hopes is a new beginning. Now alone and nearly penniless after losing everything in the Civil War, Morgan strikes up a friendship with Corrick McCale who helps him secure work. But it is not long before destiny leads the pair to join the Army fight against Oglala Sioux leader, Red Cloud, who opposes white man's use of the Boseman trail on the Northern Plains. As they build Fort Stout amid Indian hunting grounds, frequent attacks kill few soldiers until December 1866 when the Indians massacre an entire company. After Colonel Stuart Westerfield arrives with his wife, Prudence, to take command, he must rely on Morgan's combat experienc...
